batāūṁ, to kahaṁ sakhi! kā bāta
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Māninī Vṛishabhānunandinī says to Lalitā sakhī, “Oh sakhi! What should I tell you? There is nothing worthy to be said about that Prankster. He tells Me in honey-sweet words, ‘You are the only one whom I love’, but continues to go to Chandrāvalī’s house for amorous sports everyday. He has no shame at all. Yesterday, He told Me that He would come at midnight and do whatever pleases Me.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Kishorī Jī adds, “Still, Oh sakhi! He did not come. I kept on waiting and yearning for Him throughout the night.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
batāūṁ, to kahaṁ sakhi! kā bāta
sunahu sakhī! lalitā, vākī kachhu, bāta kahī nahiṁ jāta
kahata madhura bolani mote asa, ‘tuma hī soṁ mama nāta’
pai viharata chandrāvali ghara vaha, nekahuṁ nāhiṁ lajāta
kahyo kāli aihauṁ adharātihiṁ, karihauṁ tava mana bhāta
nahiṁ āyo ‘kripālu’ parakhata rahi, talaphata bītī rāta
