Shri Radha Madhuri · Pad 34
rādhe tore, aruṇa-charaṇa para vārī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Oh Kishorī Jī! I sacrifice myself on the redness of Your lovely feet. Because of being endowed with an iota of the infinite beauty of Your feet, the new leaves of mango-trees are called pallava by poets. Therefore, the beauty and redness of Your feet cannot be compared with them. Pārvatī, Lakshmī and Brahmāṇī, etc. always place Your feet on their head, and I think, it is because of the vermillion powder on their heads that Your feet have become red. And the brightness of the ten nails of Your feet is actually the brightness of the ten moons, who always stay and shine in those nails to worship Your feet. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “There is also a lotus under Kishorī Jī’s feet. This is totally unprecedented that a lotus and the moon are blooming together and beautifying the same place.”
