Virah Madhuri · Pad 86
kauna yaha, viraha banāyo hāya
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A virahiṇī says, “Oh sakhi! Who has created this ‘separation’ because of which a virahiṇī writhes in pain every moment, uttering ‘Hāi!’ Oh sakhi! If that cruel creator had to create separation, why did he create sweet union in the first place? The agony of separation makes one weep in the same limit in which the joy of sweet union makes one laugh. Oh sakhi! There is one more surprising thing. If separation-making was a must for him, what prompted him to fill its agony with sweetness?” In the meantime, Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī said, “Oh sakhi! I am amazed at one more thing and that is, why did he make that sweet pain ever-increasing?”
