Shri Krishna Bal Leela Madhuri · Pad 22
uṭhe hari, nainana nīṁda bhare
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
On being awakened repeatedly, baby Kṛishṇa has finally gotten up, but His eyes are still full of sleep. Those pink-coloured eyes are extremely luscious and have red lines in them. They are so bewitching that even wagtail, fish and partridge (all known for their beautiful eyes) stand stupefied looking at them with great astonishment. His intoxicating eyes are not opening anyhow, resembling a sword in its sheath. Baby Kṛishṇa is yawning with His eyes still closed and Mother Yashodā is holding Him up with her hands, lest He falls on the bed and goes to sleep again. She then tries to make Him walk still supporting Him with her hands. He walks with little faltering steps, also opening His eyes now and then. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, this bewitching sight of sleepy baby Kṛishṇa defies all descriptions and is forcibly captivating the heart of onlookers.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
uṭhe hari, nainana nīṁda bhare
ati-rasa bhare naina ratanāre, ḍorana aruna pare
khañjana mīna, chakora ṭhage se, dekhata naina khare
khulata na naina maina mada māte, janu asi myāna dhare
shyāma gāta jaṁbhuvāta mūṁdi dṛiga, mātu swakara pakare
ḍagamagāta paga dharata dharaṇi para, bicha bicha dṛiga ughare
lakhatahiṁ banata ‘kripālu’ lāla chhavi, barabasa swavasa kare
