Dainya Madhuri · Pad 52
nātha! aba būd̤ata lehu bachāya
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Lord! I am drowning in the ocean of this world. Please save me at once. Oh ocean of mercy! This ocean of world is so deep that it is impossible to fathom its depth or see the other end. I have become like a toy tossed by extremely high waves of various material desires. All who are called near and dear ones - son, wife, friend etc. are eating me up like tortoises and big (large) fishes. If by some great fortune, a real saint, in the form of a boatman with a boat, calls me out for helping me due to his causelessly merciful nature, he too, is looked upon by me as a crocodile because of my own false pride (ego). Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh Lord! Listen to my call at once and run to rescue me from drowning in this unfathomable ocean because Your name is ‘Kripālu’ which means merciful.”

nātha! aba būd̤ata lehu bachāya
ati agādha bhava sindhu dayānidhi!, ora chhora nahiṁ pāya
vividha vāsanā tuṅga-taraṅgani, banyoṁ khilaunā hāya!
putra, kalatra, mitra ādika je, kachchha machchha bani khāya
lai jalayāna ṭera guru-kevaṭa, sou mohiṁ makara lakhāya
lāgu gohāri bachāu ‘kripāluhiṁ’, tuma kṛipālu yadurāya
