Shri Krishna Madhuri · Pad 11
churāvati chita chitavani naṁdalāla
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh sakhi! Shyāmasundara’s sweet side-glance has stolen our heart. Although even Mahāvishṇu’s eyes are as big and lotus-like as Shyāmasundara’s, yet Shyāmasundara’s looks are filled with some irresistibly captivating magic, which I am unable to tell in words. Oh sakhi! There always flows the nectar of love from His side-glance. Seeing that side-glance, even the chastest maidens like Umā, Ramā etc. get infatuated, then what to speak of others. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “I have heard up to this extent that even Kāmadeva had fallen down in a swoon after seeing Shyāmasundara’s side-glance during the rāsa dance just once.”

churāvati chita chitavani naṁdalāla
yadyapi mahāvishṇu ke aisehiṁ, lochana kamala-vishāla
pai nā jāne kā jādū sakhi, ina chitavani gopāla
ina mahaṁ rati-rasa-sarasa-prema-rasa, chhalakata raha saba kāla
lakhata laṭū hvai jāti bhaṭū saba, umā ramā sī hāla
ika ‘kripālu’ chitavani mahaṁ murchhita, giryo kāma behāla
