Yugal Madhuri · Pad 9
bali jāuṁ lād̤alī lāla kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself again and again on Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa. They are strolling in the groves with Their arms around each other. On one side is the golden-complexioned daughter of Kīrti, Shrī Rādhā, and on the other, is the blue-complexioned son of Yashodā, Shrī Kṛishṇa. I sacrifice my all on Kishorī Jī who is adorned with all the sixteen embellishments, and Shyāmasundara who is dressed beautifully in the style of an acrobat. Lost in the ecstasy of divine love, Their free and intoxicating gait is putting even the swans to shame. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Although both Shrī Rādhā and Shrī Kṛishṇa are one and the same, yet, from the point of view of the rasikas, Shrī Rādhā is the Swāminī of Shrī Kṛishṇa.”
