yugalavara, jeṁvana kī balihāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself on the captivating sight of the Divine Couple dining together. Shrī Rādhā and Kṛishṇa are sitting on a jewelled seat made of sandalwood. The sakhīs first decorated golden bowls in a big flat dish of gold. Then they served various dainty edibles of the six flavours in them. Afterwards, they requested the Divine Couple to grace the food. Now, Shyāmasundara is putting morsels in Kishorī Jī’s mouth and Shrī Kishorī Jī is feeding Shyāmasundara in an extremely jolly mood. The group of sakhīs is singing the feast-song in melodious voices with the accompaniment of different musical instruments. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that it is impossible for anyone not to sacrifice his total self on this infinitely lovely sight.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
yugalavara, jeṁvana kī balihāra
maṇina-jaṭita chandana-pīṭhāsana, rājata dou sarakāra
kanaka-thāra mahaṁ kanaka kaṭorina, sājīṁ sakhina saṁvāra
puni tina mahaṁ parasīṁ bahu vyañjana, shaṭarasa sarasa apāra
puni kara-jori kaheu ‘ārogahu, sakhina prāṇa-sākāra’
piya pyārī-mukha, pyārī piya-mukha, haṁsi-haṁsi grāsahiṁ ḍāra
sakhina samāja sāja saṁga gāvati, madhura swarana jeṁvanāra
lakhi ‘kripālu’ so bāṁkī jhāṁkī, ko na prāṇa de vāra
