Maan Madhuri · Pad 56
shrī rādhe rānī! jāke lage soi jāna
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
(Shyāmasundara talks to Kishorī Jī very intimately after the termination of Her māna.) Oh Kishorī Jī! He alone knows the grief of separation, who experiences it himself. How can someone else know it? You get offended with Me in the pride of māna, but I writhe in pain without You in exactly the same way as a snake suffers when the gem on its hood is twitched away from it. When the agony of separation attacks Me and I get defeated by it, then, taking refuge in You, I call You out in each and every kuñja. Oh Kishorī Jī! Even at present, the remembrance of Your māna in past, makes Me experience the pain of death. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Shyāmasundara adds, “Oh Kishorī Jī! For You, it is only a matter of fun whereas for Me, it is like death-experience. Why have You learnt this bad habit of doing māna? The inference is that never do māna again.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
shrī rādhe rānī! jāke lage soi jāna
tuma to bharī gumānana mānana, ṭhānati kari abhimāna
tuma binu, mani binu phani janu chhina-chhina, talaphata pala-pala prāna
gherata biraha, hāri tohiṁ herata, ṭerata kuñja-latāna
abahūṁ bhāna na rahata prāna kahaṁ, karata māna ko dhyāna
uta ‘kripālu’ hāṁsī ita phāṁsī, kā sīkhī asa bāna
