Nikunj Madhuri · Pad 18
bali jāuṁ nikuñja bihāra kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself again and again on the transcendental amorous līlās of the Divine Couple in the inner groves. I offer my ‘everything’ on the Supreme teacher of love-ecstasy, Shrī Vṛishabhānunandinī, and the crest-jewel of rasikas, Shrī Nandakumāra. It is as if the personified forms of veritable Adornment and Beauty have descended on earth in the form of Shrī Rādhā and Kṛishṇa in order to shower the most intimate nectar of love. Shrī Shyāmā-Shyāma, with Their arms around each other, are abundantly showering the nectar of divine love-bliss through the performance of various intimate līlās. I sacrifice myself even on this. I further sacrifice myself on the groups of countless youthful gopīs who are always steeped in the nectar of divine love-bliss. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “The nectar extracted from the essence of love is drunk eternally by rasikas.”

bali jāuṁ nikuñja bihāra kī
nāgari shrī vṛishabhānu kuṁvari aru, nāgara nandakumāra kī
dhari janu rūpa anūpa prakaṭa bhaiṁ, mūrati chhavi shṛiṅgāra kī
karata keli bhuja meli vividha vidhi, barasāvata rasadhāra kī
saṅga navelina, ati alabelina, helina yūtha apāra kī
piyata ‘kripālu’ rasika nishivāsara, prema sudhā rasa sāra kī
