dhanya prema gopījana tribhuvana, pūraṇa brahma jāsu bharamāvata
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
The divine love of gopīs is blessed in three worlds, bound by which even the Supreme Absolute Brahma Shrī Kṛishṇa forgets Himself. The Supreme Brahma who creates innumerable cosmic eggs (Brahmāṇḍas), is known as the son of an ahīra, Nanda, controlled by the love of gopīs. To the same Supreme Brahma about whom the Vedas declare that He controls the entire world with merely a fraction of His power, Yogamāyā, Mother Yashodā teaches, in her courtyard, how to walk, giving Him support of her fingers. Not even a side-glance of whose grace is attained by even Brahmā, Vishnu and Shaṅkara etc. even after crores of kalpas of rigorous penances, Mother Yashodā causes that same Supreme Brahma to weep by pushing Him away from her lap and looking at Him with stern looks. Merely by taking the support of whose names, attributes and līlās, the devotees cut asunder the shackles of this material world in a moment, Mother Yashodā ties up that same infinitely powerful Supreme Lord with a mortar and makes Him shiver with fear, by waving a stick in her hand. Whose wonderful deluding potency māyā makes even such great and realized paramahansas like Nārada etc. forget their knowledge, that same Supreme Lord Himself can be seen shedding rivulets of tears before the gopīs in Braja, yearning for His lost flute. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī further adds, “At the movement of whose eyebrows, even māyā, that makes the whole world dance at her will, herself dances like a maid, Shrī Rādhikā Jī has made that same Supreme Lord Her bought servant and makes Him massage Her feet in Braja.”

dhanya prema gopījana tribhuvana, pūraṇa brahma jāsu bharamāvata
jo asaṅkhya brahmāṇḍa sṛijata so, braja ahīra naṁdapūta kahāvata
jinakī neku yogamāyā te, jagata niyantrita iti shruti gāvata
unako mahari pakari kara-aṁgurina, nija āṁgana chalibo sikharāvata
jinakī kṛipā kora vidhi hari hara, koṭi kalpa tapa kari nahiṁ pāvata
unako jhaṭaki paṭaki godī te, bhauṁha tāni naṁdarāni ruvāvata
jinakī nāma guṇāvali līlā, bhava bandhana chhana māhiṁ chhuṭāvata
unako mātu bāṁdhi ūkhala te, lai sāṁṭī kara ati ḍarapāvata
jinakī ati vichitra māyā te, nāradādi ko gyāna bhulāvata
unako dekhiya braja muralī hita, gopina āge dṛiga jhari lāvata
jinakī bhṛikuṭi takati bani dāsī, so māyā jo jagahiṁ nachāvata
unako aba ‘kripālu’ rādhe jū, krīta dāsa kari pada paluṭāvata
