Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Sending a message to Shyāmasundara through Uddhava, maidens of Braja state, “Oh Uddhava! Convey our message to Shyāmasundara exactly in these words. Tell Him that gopīs, even after being abalā (weaker sex) are actually so strong that even the Supreme God cannot win them. They all challenge You, listen with open ears. They say, ‘We want neither knowledge nor ignorance. Neither do we desire for the Supreme God nor for His opulence of Baikuṇṭha.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “They state that the Beloved (i.e. Shyāmasundara), whom alone they want, permeates each and every fibre of their being.”

ūdho!, aisehiṁ kahiyo kānha
ve aisī abalā prabalā jina, jīti na saka bhagawāna
ve saba deti chunautī tuma kahaṁ, sunahu kholi nija kāna
ve asa kahati, na chāhati hama saba, brahma-gyāna, agyāna
nahiṁ chāhati bhagawāna na chāhati, sukha baikuṇṭha mahāna
ve ‘kripālu’ chāhati jina priyatama, tina una māhiṁ samāna
