bane manihārini nandakumāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Today, Shyāmasundara has disguised Himself as a lady-bangle-seller. The form of that lady-bangle-seller is so fascinating that the moment any maiden of Braja looks at Her, she sacrifices herself on Her. The beauty of that bangle-seller itself puts the personified Beauty out of countenance, and in addition to that, She has also adorned Herself in all sixteen (traditional) embellishments. Placing the basket containing shining bangles of blue, yellow and various other colours on Her head, that lady-bangle-seller went towards Kishorī Jī’s palace all alone and started shouting the slogan “Take bangles, take bangles”. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Kishorī Jī sent for that lady-bangle-seller and took Her inside Her palace along with Her friends.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
bane manihārini nandakumāra
lakhi mana hārini manihārini chhavi, panihārini balihāra
rūpahuṁ jāsu lajāta rūpa asa, puni nakha shikha shṛiṅgāra
nīlī pīlī bhala chamakīlī, chūrina nija sira dhāra
chalī lalī ke mahala akelihiṁ, ‘chūrī lehu’ pukāra
lalī bulāya ‘kripālu’ alī saṁga, lai gaiṁ mahala majhāra
