yugala galabaṁhiyana kī balihāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Absolutely indescribable is the enchanting sight of the Divine Couple with Their arms around each other’s neck. As far as Their beauty and adornment are concerned, only this much will suffice to say that these embarrass even personified Beauty and Adornment. Both Shrī Rādhā and Kṛishṇa are sitting on a throne in Their palace and the sakhīs are doing Their āratī. Sometimes Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa look at each other and sometimes, glance at sakhīs as well. The beauty of the Divine Couple’s sweet smile, which is soaked with the aroma of divine love, is just worth watching! It defies the beauty of even countless Beauties combined. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī beseeches the Divine Couple to turn Their benevolent gaze even towards him once.

yugala galabaṁhiyana kī balihāra
chhavi shṛiṅgāra sakhī! kā kahano, lajavata ‘chhavi’ ‘shṛiṅgāra’
baiṭhe mahala yugala siṁhāsana, ārati sakhina utāra
kabahuṁka lakhata sakhina kahaṁ kabahuṁka, ekahiṁ eka nihāra
lakhatahiṁ banata yugala musakani chhavi, aganita ‘chhavi’ chhavi vāra
kahata ‘kripālu’ nihāra bāra-ika, morehuṁ ḍhiṁga sarakāra
