Shri Krishna Bal Leela Madhuri · Pad 61
kānha! hama sune tumahiṁ bhagawāna!
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
An innocent sakhī says, “Oh Shyāmasundara! I have heard that You Yourself are the Supreme Lord. Oh stealer of my heart! Tell me the truth, I won’t disclose it to anybody. I, personally, am unable to believe it even in the least because I am well familiar with Your personality. I have heard that God is the reservoir of six types of opulence, namely, the whole affluence, virtue, repute, wealth, knowledge and detachment. But not even one of these is seen in You. How, then, can we believe that You are God? If You are really God, then I bind You by my oath, make me understand it.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Shyāmasundara replied, “I have in Me the potencies of all the six types of opulence but in the love of My devotees, I get so intoxicated that I absolutely forget about them.”

kānha! hama sune tumahiṁ bhagawāna!
sāṁchu batāu mohiṁ manamohana, kahahuṁ na kāhuhiṁ āna
mohiṁ paratīti hoti nahiṁ nekahuṁ, hauṁ tuma kahaṁ bhala jāna
shaḍaishvarya paripūrṇa sunyoṁ hauṁ, hai yākī pahichāna
tumhare to ekahuṁ nahiṁ dīkhata, puni hama leṁ kata māna
mohiṁ samujhāu sauṁha tohiṁ morī, sunahu sakhī! kaha kānha
hota vibhora ‘kripālu’ prema lakhi, rahata na shaktihiṁ bhāna
