Shri Radha Bal Leela Madhuri · Pad 1
kīrti ghara prakaṭīṁ kīrti kumāri
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Today, Shrī Rādhikā Jī has manifested Herself in the palace of Queen Shrī Kīrti Jī. To celebrate this most auspicious occasion, the god of gods, Brahmā etc. are reciting benedictions through Vedic hymns and all the four Vedas in their incarnate forms are singing eulogies through their sacred texts. Nārada and other great ṛishis are singing Her praises in the chains of panegyrics saying, hail to the daughter of King Vṛishabhānu in between. Bhagwan Shaṅkara, completely oblivious of his body is doing his tāṇḍava dance. Pārvatī, Mahālakshmī and Brahmāṇī etc., the great powers, are doing āratī of the daughter of Kīrti. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “The scene worthiest to be watched is that even those paramahansas for whom Brahma or the Supreme Power is Imperceptible and Impersonal are feeling intoxicated with love and irresistibly shouting the slogan ‘balihārī hai’ (i.e. we sacrifice ourselves on this bliss) repeatedly, looking at Shrī Vṛishabhānunandinī Rādhā with unblinking eyes.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
kīrti ghara prakaṭīṁ kīrti kumāri
brahmādika swastyayana pāṭha kara, astuti kari shruti chāri
nāradādi viradāvali gāvata, kahi jaya bhānudulāri
tāṇḍava nṛitya karata shivashaṅkara, sudhi budhi deha bisāri
umā ramā brahmāṇī ādika, ārati kuṁvari utāri
lakhata ‘kripālu’ gyānijana ikaṭaka, puni puni kahi ‘balihāri’
