Prem Madhuri · Pad 7
bali jāuṁ prema-rasa-sāra kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself again and again at the sweetness of Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa’s love. I repeatedly give myself up to beloved Shyāmasundara, the crest-jewel of rasikas, and love-intoxicated Rādhikā Jī, who is the very life of Shyāmasundara. Beloved Shyāmasundara is the personified form of beauty, and Shrī Rādhā, that of adornment. I sacrifice myself over and over again on the sweetness of the transcendental sports of divine love enacted in the enchanting groves of clove-creepers. I frequently offer myself on the torrential rain (extremity) of divine love-bliss in the form of mahārāsa beautified with most pleasing jokes and laughter. I further sacrifice myself on all the four love-intoxicated eyes of Rādhā-Kṛishṇa that are always fixed on each other attracted by each other’s infinite beauty, and which appear to be drowsy due to being drunk with love. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “The matters of the divine love of the divine couple Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa are absolutely inexpressible and unthinkable, which can be understood only by a rasika who is blessed with the grace of Rādhā-Kṛishṇa, not by anyone else.”
