Nikunj Madhuri · Pad 2
āju dou, jhūlana mahaṁ jhagare
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Today, our beloved Lords Shrī Rādhā-Kṛishṇa are engaged in a fight with each other on the matter of swinging. When all the preparations were completed and even the swing was hung from a branch of a Kadamba tree, Kishorī Jī said to Shyāmasundara with self-pride, “Only one of us will swing at a time. We cannot swing together because You make mischief while swinging.” Shyāmasundara replied, “This cannot be; either both of us will swing simultaneously or continue to stand together.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says to the Divine Couple, “I am greatly surprised that when You two are actually one, then, why are You fighting with Yourself in this way.”

āju dou, jhūlana mahaṁ jhagare
jaba hvai gayo shṛiṅgāra sabai vidhi, jhūlana kadama pare
taba pyārī prītama soṁ imi kaha, vachana gumāna bhare
‘tuma jhūlo yā hama jhūleṁ, nahiṁ, dou ika saṅga sare’
pivu kaha, ‘dou ika saṁga jhūleṁ yā, raha dou saṅga khare’
kaha ‘kripālu’ dou ekahiṁ taba kā, āpuhiṁ āpu lare
