Shri Radha Madhuri · Pad 9
kishorī ju ki, bhorepana kī bāna
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Kishorī Jī’s nature is extremely innocent. Her eyes and glances too are innocent which have enslaved Shyāmasundara forever. The sweet smile of Her innocent face is also infinitely innocent. When Shyāmasundara hears Her innocent talks of divine love, He feels like sacrificing His very self on Her. Due to Her extremely innocent nature, Kishorī Jī does māna, seeing Her own reflection in Shyāmasundara’s chest (assuming it to be some other beloved of Shyāmasundara). Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “But the most astonishing factor is that along with being so excessively innocent, She is also expert in all the sixty-four arts.”

kishorī ju ki, bhorepana kī bāna
bhore naina vilokani bhorī, jā-vasha shyāma sujāna
ati bhore mukha kī ati bhorī, madhura madhura musakāna
bali bali jāta lāla suni bhorī, rati-rasa kī batiyāna
lakhi piya ura pratibimba subhāyana, bhorī ṭhānati māna
jāna ‘kripālu’ kalā chauṁsaṭhahūṁ, acharaja ihai mahāna
