ūdho!, kahiyo nandakumāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Sending a message to Shyāmasundara through Uddhava, the maidens of Braja state, “Oh Uddhava! Tell your friend, Nandakumāra that we know Him since the beginning-less time that He is the reservoir of mercy. We also understand very well this play of separation which He is staging. What to say of Mathurā, even if He goes back to Goloka, He cannot go out of our heart. If He is able to do so, we will accept our defeat.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “He alone, who cannot separate Himself after meeting once, is our omnipotent Beloved.”

ūdho!, kahiyo nandakumāra
hama tuma kahaṁ jānati saba dina te, karuṇā ko bhaṇḍāra
yaha jo abhinaya karata viraha ko, sou samujhati brajanāra
mathurā kī kā bāta!, jāhu bhala, puni goloka majhāra
pai jaba nikasi jāhu hiya te taba, māni leuṁ nija hāra
jo ‘kripālu’ mili bilaga na hoi saka, soī mama bharatāra
