ūdho!, kahi dījo yaha tāta
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Sending their message to Shyāmasundara through Uddhava, maidens of Braja state, “Oh Uddhava! Tell Shyāmasundara that He has broken in a moment, like a blade of grass, the love of those maidens of Braja who had established their relationship with Him alone, breaking the ties of attachment with the whole world. This is not befitting Him. Just as a widow cannot tell her pain of pregnancy to anyone, similarly the maidens of Braja also feel shy in telling about their agony of separation to anyone.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “And even to bear this unbearable agony silently has become almost impossible now. Thus, we are on the horns of a dilemma.”

ūdho!, kahi dījo yaha tāta
jore nāta jāsu braja banitani, tori sakala jaga nāta
toryo tṛiṇa sama nāta hāya! soi, ika pala mahaṁ balabhrāta
jyoṁ vidhavā nija garbha pīra kahuṁ, kāhuhiṁ kahi na sakāta
tyoṁ brajanārina pīra viraha kī, kāhuhiṁ kahata lajāta
kahe bināhuṁ ‘kripālu’ kāu soṁ, aba nāhiṁna rahi jāta
