ūdho!, hama abalā brajanāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Sending a message to Shyāmasundara through Uddhava, the maidens of Braja state, “Oh Uddhava! When you go to Shyāmasundara, tell that leader of liars that we are all abalās i.e. we are devoid of strength. People have different sources to derive their strength from, but so far as we are concerned, our strength is none else but Shyāmasundara. One has thousands of kinsmen in the world, viz. son, husband, wife, sister etc. but our relative for innumerable births is only Shyāmasundara.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “We don’t give any thought to whether He renounces us, or loves us. In other words, we will continue to love Him whether He loves us or not.”

ūdho!, hama abalā brajanāra
jāi kahyo una naṁdanandana soṁ, jo labarana saradāra
kāhū ko bala kāhuhiṁ hama kahaṁ, ika bala nandakumāra
kāhū ke suta, pati, tiya, bhaginī, nāte jagata hajāra
hamare janama janama ko ekahiṁ, haiṁ brajarāja-dulāra
ve ‘kripālu’ mohi tajeṁ bhajeṁ yā, karata na yāya vichāra
