Maan Madhuri · Pad 33
kuṁvari binu, kuṁvara na ura dhara dhīra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(Shyāmasundara’s lamentation in Kishorī Jī’s separation.) Shyāmasundara is unable to console His grief-stricken heart even in the least without Kishorī Jī. He sometimes waits for Kishorī Jī’s arrival standing in a house surrounded by creepers; while at other times, He writes something on the ground with His nails, shedding tears from His eyes. Sometimes, seeing Kishorī Jī’s footprints, He places His head on them and kisses them and weeps. Sometimes, uttering the cry of pain, ‘Oh! Oh!’ He heaves long sighs. Sometimes, feeling overly impatient, He runs from hither to thither. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “And sometimes, completely unable to bear the agony of separation any longer, Shyāmasundara falls on the ground in a swoon.”

kuṁvari binu, kuṁvara na ura dhara dhīra
kabahuṁka pantha nihārata ṭhād̤ho, mañjula kuñja-kuṭīra
kabahuṁka nakhana likhata kachhu medini, nainana barasata nīra
kabahuṁka dekhi charana-chihnana kahaṁ, dharata shīsha tahaṁ vīra!
kabahuṁka ‘hāya! hāya!’ kahi nikasata, dīragha shvāsa samīra
kabahuṁka uṭhi ita uta ko bhājata, vihvala prema-adhīra
hota ‘kripālu’ kabahuṁ puni murchhita, sundara shyāma sharīra
