Shri Radha Madhuri · Pad 17
yamuna taṭa ṭhād̤hīṁ bhānudulāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Shrī Vṛishabhānunandinī Rādhikā is standing on the bank of the river Yamunā. Seeing Her bewitching beauty with added attraction of all the sixteen embellishments, even Embellishment personified feels embarrassed. Her extremely innocent, sweet and gentle smile is the source of supreme joy to rasikas. With eyes full of nectarean divine love, She is looking at the current of the Yamunā. Looking at Kishorī Jī, in turn, Yamunā too, seems to be beside herself with joy, expressing it through every part of her body in the form of lofty waves. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī pleads to Kishorī Jī with folded hands, “Please come and perform aquatic sports in the river with Your friends who are eagerly awaiting You.”

yamuna taṭa ṭhād̤hīṁ bhānudulāra
chhavi soraha shṛiṅgāra lajāvati, mūrtimāna shṛiṅgāra
ati bhorī musakāna madhura mṛidu, rasikana kī rijhavāra
rati-rasa-sarasa rasīle nainana, dekhati yamunā-dhāra
pratyaṅgani uttuṅga taraṅgani, kālindihuṁ balihāra
kaha kara jori ‘kripālu’ sakhina saṁga, jala bicha kariya bihāra
