Shri Radha Madhuri · Pad 18
jayati jaya, jayati jayati rādhe
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Daughter of Vṛishabhānu, Shrī Rādhe! Hail to You! Hail to You! Hail to You! Even the Supreme Lord Shrī Kṛishṇa, who is worshipped by the whole world, worships Kishorī Jī. Meditating on Her form, He chants Her name ‘Rādhe’ in His flute. On being separated from Kishorī Jī, He wails in the lanes of Gahvaravana. He cannot live in peace even for half a moment without Her. The feeling of Her separation becomes so intense in His heart that just after saying ‘Rā’, He falls on the ground in a swoon, unable to speak the other half of Her name ‘dhe’. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī prays to Kishorī Jī, “Oh Ocean of unlimited nectar of love! Gratify me by accepting me as Your friend (sakhī).”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
jayati jaya, jayati jayati rādhe
jaga ārādhe jehi hari, soi hari, rādhe ārādhe
gāvata rādhe nāma murali mahaṁ, rūpa-dhyāna sādhe
khojata gahavara galina viraha mahaṁ, kala nahiṁ pala ādhe
‘rā’ kahi girata dharaṇi hvai murchhita, mukha kahi saka nā ‘dhe’
mohiṁ ‘kripālu’ sakhi mānu āpanī, prema-sudhā gādhe
