rūṭhe kānha manāvati māya
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Baby Kṛishṇa is pouting and Mother Yashodā is trying to please Him. Baby Kṛishṇa is throwing a tantrum for no reason. At the same time, He is rolling on the floor, stamping His little feet continuously. When Maiyā doesn’t go to placate Him, He immediately gets up and, looking a little annoyed, with His body smeared with dust, runs a short distance, stamping His little feet and mumbling something to Himself. Overcome with motherly love, Maiyā feels unable to control herself anymore. Running, she catches hold of Him and asks with much love, “Lālā, why are You making such a big fuss? What is that which You really want, tell me?” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Availing Himself of this good opportunity, baby Kṛishṇa then says with a lisp, “Maiyā, bring Me a bride.”

rūṭhe kānha manāvati māya
jhūṭhehiṁ rodana ṭhāna māna gahi, loṭata paga paṭakāya
puni uṭhi khījhi, renu-tanu-maṇḍita, kachhuka dūri chali jāya
prema-magana mana hī mana yashumati, pakarati kara gahi dhāya
pūchhati mātu ‘kāha tuma leihau, kāhe dhūma machāya’
hari ‘kripālu’ kaha totari bolani, ‘mohiṁ dulahini deu lāya’
