hamāro ṭhākura nandakumāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Nandakumāra alone is our Lord. On the infinite brilliance of His divine blue body, I sacrifice the gemstone, sapphire. He is standing in the shady bowers of Vṛindāvana, gracefully curving His crown, neck, waist and feet. He is wearing pītāmbara shining like gold. The beauty of His swinging peacock-feathered crown is indescribable, on which I sacrifice myself impromptu. A lathi is placed on His shoulder, His curved eye-brows are extremely charming and around His waist is tied a beautiful kāchhanī. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that the greatest paramahansas like Shuka, Sanaka etc. drink the nectar of Shyāmasundara’s beauty by living in Vṛindāvana in the form of trees and creepers.
