Shri Radha Bal Leela Madhuri · Pad 10
kuṁvari kī, kilakani kī bali jāuṁ
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself on the līlās of little Kishorī Jī squeaking with intense joy. My heart repeatedly craves to see Her crawling with speed in the courtyard of Vṛishabhānu. The sight of the blue jhaṁgulī on Her extremely fair body is immensely captivating. I become oblivious of myself seeing Her reflection in the gem-studded pillar. I feel beside myself with joy listening to the jingling music of the anklets in Her tiny feet. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that the tableau of Her childhood līlās is something only to be seen; it is beyond all descriptions. Therefore, why should I embarrass a simile by unnecessarily using it to compare the beauty of those indescribably captivating scenes?

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
kuṁvari kī, kilakani kī bali jāuṁ
ati druta gavani ghuṭuruvani āṁgana, lakhi lakhi hauṁ lalachāuṁ
gaura badana para nīla jhaṁguliyani, jhalakani lakhi mana bhāuṁ
maṇina-khambha pratibimba vilokani, lakhi sudhi-deha bhulāuṁ
runajhuna paga paiṁjaniyani suni suni, phūlo aṁga na samāuṁ
dekhata banata ‘kripālu’ na lekhata, kimi upamāhiṁ lajāuṁ
