Shri Krishna Madhuri · Pad 52
hamāro, rādhā vallabha prāna
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
The Beloved of Shrī Rādhā, Shyāmasundara is the life of my life. I sacrifice my innumerable lives even on His slight, sweet smile. Looking at His love-laden mischievous glance unblinkingly, I experience so much bliss that even a kalpa seems to be as short as a moment. The swaying of His peacock-feathered crown due to His intoxicated gait, the way His black tresses kiss His mouth and the enchantingly unique movement of His brows are truly a sight worth seeing! The beauty of the yellow silken shawl wrapped around the staff in His hand and the kāchhanī tied around His waist in the style of an acrobat is really ineffable by all similes. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that the bliss, which is showered when Shyāmasundara plays a melodious note in His flute, is something only to be experienced as it defies all descriptions.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
hamāro, rādhā vallabha prāna
koṭina prāna vāri dauṁ lakhi sakhi! neku manda musakāna
chitavani chapala lakhata apalaka dṛiga, kalapa palaka sama māna
jhūmata mukuṭa laṭani mukha chūmati, ghūmati bhṛikuṭi-kamāna
lakuṭihiṁ lapaṭa pītapaṭa aṭapaṭa, kāchhani naṭa unamāna
so ‘kripālu’ rasa ko bakhāna jaba, ṭerata muralihiṁ tāna
