Shri Radha Madhuri · Pad 35
rāsa-rasa-rasika raṁgīlī rādhā
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Kishorī Jī is always a source of bliss to rasikas, who are eternally drowned in the ecstasy of divine love. Meditating on the light that emanates from Her gem-like foot-nails, shining like the moon, thinking it to be Brahma (the Impersonal God), even the leader of the greatest yogis, Bhagwan Shaṅkara is always lost in nirvikalpa trance. Even Shyāmasundara, sold to Her without a price, worships Her name day and night. Separated from Her, even that Supreme Lord becomes extremely restless and finds Himself unable to bear the pangs of Her separation even for half a moment. Shrī Kishorī Jī, the reservoir of unfathomable love, always enacts ever-new līlās of divine love in the bowers of Vṛindāvana. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that on being blessed even with an iota of Her grace, one can never be attracted, even in one’s dreams, by worldly pleasures up to those of the realm of Brahmā, and the salvation of becoming one with the Absolute (Ekatva Mukti).

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
rāsa-rasa-rasika raṁgīlī rādhā
jā pada-nakha-maṇi-chandra-chandrikahiṁ, shambhu samādhihiṁ sādhā
bike shyāma binu dāma yāma-vasu, jāsu nāma ārādhā
jāsu viraha virahātura harihūṁ, rahi na sakata pala ādhā
nitya vihāra karati vṛindāvana, kuñjani prema agādhā
kimi ‘kripālu’ tahaṁ rahi saka sapanehuṁ, bhukti mukti dui bādhā
