Shri Krishna Madhuri · Pad 23
bali jāuṁ rasīle lāla kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself on Shyāmasundara, the crest jewel of all rasikas. I offer myself on the captivating yellow garment tied around His waist and on His eyes full of mischief. I further sacrifice myself on the garland made of wild flowers, the necklace made of pearls and gems and the pītāmbara beautified on His chest. I also offer myself on the tender sweet tinkling music of the anklets embracing His feet and His intoxicating manner of stroll like that of an intoxicated elephant. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Those who looked at Shyāmasundara’s beautiful form, captivatingly curved at three places (neck, waist and feet) were left staring at it unblinkingly.”

bali jāuṁ rasīle lāla kī
vilasata kaṭi paṭa pīta manohara, lochana chapala vishāla kī
ura banamāla dukūla alaṅkṛita, maṇimaya muktāmāla kī
paga nūpura jhanakāra madhura mṛidu, gavani matta gaja chāla kī
roma roma te chuvata sudhārasa, ratirasa sarasa rasāla kī
nirnimesha hvai lakhu ‘kripālu’ chhavi, lalita tribhaṅga gupāla kī
