Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
The maidens of Braja say to Uddhava – “Listen to a secret. The way of love is extremely crooked; you cannot understand this. You think that we are unceasingly craving to meet Shyāmasundara, but actually, it is not so. Wherever we turn our eyes, we see nothing but Shyāmasundara. He, whose intellect is under illusion, regards the maidens of Braja and Shyāmasundara to be separated from each other.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the maidens of Braja state, “We and Shyāmasundara were always one (inseparable) since time immemorial, are one, and will always remain one.”

ūdho!, yaha rahasya kī bāta
ati ad̤abaṅgī rīti prīti kī, tuma nahiṁ samujhi sakāta
tuma jānata hama madhura milana hita, talaphata nita dina-rāta
pai mohiṁ, jita dekhauṁ tita dīkhata, sundara shyāmala gāta
gopī shyāma-viyoga māna soi, jākī mati bharamāta
hama ‘kripālu’ dou eka hute, haiṁ, rahihaiṁ ekahiṁ tāta
