Shri Radha Madhuri · Pad 43
lalī sī chhaila chhabīlī nāhiṁ
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Our swāminī Shrī Rādhā is one without a second in beauty and love. What to say more, even the crest-jewel of rasikas, Shyāmasundara, cannot stand in competition with Her. Whenever Shrī Vṛishabhānunandinī, the crest-jewel of rasikas and the reservoir of attributes, does māna, the crest-jewel of rasikas, Shyāmasundara, Himself goes to appease Her. When She still does not get pacified, He beseeches Her friends to help Him. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that looking at the golden complexion of Kishorī Jī, the black-complexioned Shyāmasundara feels embarrassed in His heart.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
lalī sī chhaila chhabīlī nāhiṁ
jāke paṭatara chhaila chhabīlo, naṭavarahūṁ na lakhāhiṁ
rasika raṁgīlī guna garvīlī, jaba kabahūṁ risiyāhiṁ
rasikana ke siramora shyāmahūṁ, tāhi manāvana jāhiṁ
jaba mānini nahiṁ māna tajaiṁ taba, sakhiyana soṁ ririyāhiṁ
lakhata ‘kripālu’ gaura tanu mohana, mana hī mana sakuchāhiṁ
