kahati kā, lalitā bāta banāya?
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Māninī Shrī Rādhā says to Lalitā sakhī, “Oh Lalitā! Why are you concocting stories before Me? I know very well that you and Shyāmasundara are the birds of the same feather. I have seen the truth with My own eyes, still you want to deceive Me? I have clearly seen nail-marks on every part of His body. He had come draping a chunarī around His shoulders instead of His pītāmbara. Oh sakhi! Up to what extent should I tell you”, in the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “He forgot to bring even His flute from Chandrāvalī’s house.”

kahati kā, lalitā bāta banāya?
hama jānati tuma chora-chora dou, mausiyāutahiṁ bhāya
hama dekhī ina nainana te puni, kata chaha mohiṁ bhurāya
vāke nakhana chihna prati aṅgani, mo kahaṁ paryo lakhāya
dekhyo nāhiṁ pītapaṭa vāko, chunarī ura laharāya
kahaṁ lauṁ kahauṁ ‘kripālu’ bāta sakhi! muralihuṁ tahaṁ bisarāya
