Shri Krishna Bal Leela Madhuri · Pad 16
chalana lāge, lāla ghuṭuruvani chāla
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Little baby Kṛishṇa has started moving on hands and knees. A slightly slanted peacock-feather-crescent is beautified on His head. The sight of His curly tresses is very captivating! A loose upper garment of yellow colour glittering on His body is looking extremely beautiful. The sweet tinkling of the karadhanī around His waist, and the anklets adorning His tiny feet has allured the hearts of all Braja-maidens. The bewitching sight, when He shrieks with intense joy showing His milk teeth, defies all descriptions. One who witnesses it, alone can experience its bliss. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that little Shyāmasundara also manages to walk a few steps by holding the finger of Mother Yashodā.

chalana lāge, lāla ghuṭuruvani chāla
tanaka jhukī sira mora chandrikā, laṭurina chhavi ghuṁgharāla
nīla-kalevara jhalamalāta bhala, jhaṁgulī pīta rasāla
kaṭi kiṅkini paga paijaniyani dhuni, mohīṁ saba brajabāla
dudha daṁtulina kilakani kā kahano, lakhata banata chhavi lāla
pakari ‘kripālu’ mahari kara aṁgurina, tanaka chalata gopāla
