māninī!, māna māna aba māna
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Lalitā sakhī tries to please māninī Vṛishabhānunandinī in the following way – “Oh Māninī Rādhe! I say repeatedly that now, accept what I tell You. Shyāmasundara cannot survive without You even for a moment, know it for sure. Your Beloved is waiting for You from moment to moment with great impatience. Your fair-body has occupied every fibre of His being. His pranas stuck in His eye-lids seem to be unable to wait for You any longer.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that after knowing about such pathetic condition of the Beloved, Kishorī Jī forgot Her māna and was filled with love.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
māninī!, māna māna aba māna
tuma bina mohana rahi na sakata chhina, jāna jāna jiya jāna
pala pala pantha nihārata ārata, kānha kānha tava kānha
roma-roma rami rahyo gaura-tanu, dhyāna dhyāna nita dhyāna
palakani aṭaki kachhuka pala parakhata, prāna prāna sunu prāna
suni ‘kripālu’ nahiṁ rahyo māna ko, bhāna bhāna aba bhāna
