ikalī jani jaiyo kahuṁ gorī!
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(A clever gopī alerts an innocent gopī against meeting Shyāmasundara.) “Oh sakhi, don’t go anywhere all alone because I have heard that the son of Nanda, Shyāmasundara, loiters around in the lanes of Braja, doing magic. He is an adolescent and also the head of pranksters. You, too, are an adolescent and, in addition, extremely innocent and simple-hearted. That deceitful boy knows various types of magic, black magic and everything of the sort. Follow my advice fully. Oh sakhi! Without saying anything, He makes every maiden of Braja His own by captivating her heart forever merely by the gestures of His eyes. After becoming His, you will run from hither to thither like a mad woman, saying, ‘Hā Prāṇeshwara! Hā Prāṇanātha!’ desperately yearning for His sweet union. Renouncing the worldly decorum altogether, you will constantly dance and sing, drowned in the ocean of love, looking like a patient of delirium.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “All the maidens of Braja who confronted Him have been deceived by Him. There is not a single soul in the whole world that does not become mad after seeing Him.”

ikalī jani jaiyo kahuṁ gorī!
shyāma salonā nanda ḍuṭhonā, ṭonā karata phirata braja khorī
navakishora siramora chhalina ko, tū ati bhorī sarala kishorī
jādū, tantra, mantra saba jānata, yāte bāta māni leu morī
binu bainana nainana-sainana hī, vāte leta nāta nija jorī
‘hā prāṇeshvara! prāṇanātha hā!,’ kahi kahi bhajihau ita uta ko rī
bani unamādini nachihau gaihau, pī hau loka lāja saba ghorī
parī ṭhagorī saba braja gorī, ko ‘kripālu’ asa jo na ṭhago rī?
