shrī rādhe rānī! kehi vidhi tohiṁ samujhāūṁ
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
After conciliating māninī Rādhā, beloved Shyāmasundara says to Her, “Oh Kishorī Jī! How should I make You understand that My life and death always depends on Your straightening and creasing Your eyebrows i.e. on Your getting pleased and displeased with Me respectively. Even You are well-acquainted with this fact. You alone are My shelter; then, where should I go abandoning You? You are My Heart, Oh heart-stealer Rādhe!, therefore, how can I experience any peace without the heart? You alone are My prana, how is it possible for Me to survive even for a moment without prana?” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Shyāmasundara adds, “Oh Swāminī! You are My everything, therefore give Me a place in Your feet forever. The implication is that henceforth, never do māna again.”

shrī rādhe rānī! kehi vidhi tohiṁ samujhāūṁ
bhṛikuṭi-vilāsahiṁ jiyata marata nita, tuma te kahā durāūṁ
tuma mama gati, puni tohiṁ taji mānini! kahahu kahāṁ hauṁ jāūṁ
tuma mama mana, mana binu manamohini, kimi palahūṁ kala pāūṁ
tuma mama prāna, prāna binu ika chhina, kaisehuṁ rahi na sakāūṁ
tuma ‘kripālu’ mama saravasa, swāmini!, dehu kamala-pada ṭhāūṁ
