chhāṁd̤i braja aura chalahu kahuṁ māta!
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Shyāmasundara, concocting stories, says to Mother Yashodā, “Oh Maiyā! Let’s leave this Braja and go to some other place to live. These maidens of Braja have given us excessive mental torture, which has now become unbearable. They come to you everyday, complaining about Me without any rhyme or reason. Maiyā! Even seven persons against one are considered a great number in the world, then what to say of these maidens who are crores in number. Maiyā! You yourself tell Me that how can I, who am so small in height, reach their chhīkās hung so high.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “All these maidens are made of the same blood i.e. each one of them is worse than the others.” The sakhīs who were listening to these words of child Kṛishṇa started smiling, thinking, “See how beautifully (expertly) this little boy concocts stories!”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
chhāṁd̤i braja aura chalahu kahuṁ māta!
ina braja vanitani ati dukha dīnī, aba na māta sahi jāta
nita prati bāta banāvati to soṁ, binuhiṁ eka kara sāta
hota eka ko sāta bahuta puni, inakī bad̤ī jamāta
tumahiṁ batāu māta! hama kaise, chhīṁkehiṁ pahuṁchi sakāta
sabai ‘kripālu’ eka sī maiyā, suni sakhi mṛidu musakāta
