Shri Krishna Bal Leela Madhuri · Pad 20
chalana lāge, girata parata gopāla
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Infant Kṛishṇa is walking with unsteady steps, repeatedly falling down in between. He somehow manages to stand up taking the support of Mother Yashodā’s finger. Balancing His body like an acrobat, He squeals with intense joy. Then He tries to walk. He succeeds in taking one step somehow, then falls on the ground, but gets up immediately. Because of thus falling down and standing up again and again, He gets irritated and then according to His previous practice, He starts walking on His hands and knees. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, blessed are those Nanda and Yashodā, who always drink the nectar of these rarest childhood līlās of the Supreme Lord and feel inebriated with bliss.

chalana lāge, girata parata gopāla
pakari mahari yashumati kara aṁgurina, ṭhad̤e hota naṁdalāla
naṭa unamāni sādhi tanu apano, kilakata yashumati bāla
ika paga chalata girata puni bhū para, uṭhata turata puni lāla
puni puni girata uṭhata taba khījhata, chalata ghuṭuruvani chāla
dhani ‘kripālu’ so nanda yashomati, jo lakhi hota nihāla
