sakhī! asa rasa mohana musakāna
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh sakhi! There is such bliss in Nandalāla’s gentle smile that entranced by it, Bhagwan Shaṅkara forgets his trance-meditation. After having seen it once, the sakhīs yearn to see it time after time, never getting contented. At every smile, they experience that the nectarean bliss of this smile was absent in previously seen smiles. They also state that the Creator is inexpert in the art of creation; He should have made eyes in every fibre of one’s being for seeing beloved Shyāmasundara. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh sakhi! This is your illusion. Even after having eyes in every fibre of your being, you cannot be contented with the sweetness of the smile, which is full of endless bliss. Its example is Indra, the king of heaven, who possesses eyes all over his body.”

sakhī! asa rasa mohana musakāna
jā rasa basa barabasa bisarāvata, shambhu samādhina dhyāna
puni chaha sakhina lakhana bāreka lakhi, nahiṁ aghāta aṁkhiyāna
prati musakāna lakhata kaha puni puni, asa musakāna na āna
kahata rahana chaha naina roma prati, vidhi vidhitāhuṁ na jāna
kaha ‘kripālu’ prati roma lakhatahūṁ, surapati nāhiṁ aghāna
