Dainya Madhuri · Pad 43
dayāmaya! aba to dayā karo
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh merciful Lord! Bless me with Your grace at least now. Considering Your promise of being benevolent without a cause, pay no attention to my faults. We are ignorant whereas You and Your saints are beyond the reach of our mind and intellect. That is why, unable to recognize them, we even fail to accept their teachings. Because of our heart fully stuffed with vain pride, we do not hesitate even to insult saints. I have heard from rasikas that pride is Your food. If this is true, why then, are You feeling afraid of my pride? Why don’t You eat it up? Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “I am burning thoroughly in the fire of three types of sorrows - intrinsic (daihika), superhuman (daivika) and extrinsic (bhautika). Therefore, Oh Lord! Gratify me by blessing with the selfless love of Your lotus-feet.”

dayāmaya! aba to dayā karo
bāni akārana-karuna jāni nija, avaguna chita na dharo
hama ayāna mana-budhi-atīta puni, tuma aru jana tumharo
yāte santana kahyo na mānata, ura abhimāna kharo
sunyo kāna abhimāna ashana tava, puni kāhe ju ḍaro
dehu ‘kripāluhiṁ’ charaṇa kamala rati, jāta tritāpa jaro
