Virah Madhuri · Pad 103
tajana ko, jāya na sahaja subhāya
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Irritated in Shyāmasundara’s separation, a maiden of Braja tauntingly states, “Oh sakhi! How can anyone destroy His natural nature of desertion? Shyāmasundara abandoned the very mother Devakī, from whom He took birth and became Yashodā’s son. Similarly, forsaking even His father Vasudeva, He declared Nanda Jī to be His father. He left Mathurā and came to Gokula. Then leaving Gokula, He came to stay in Nandagāṁva. Afterwards, He left Nandagāṁva as well and went back to Mathurā. Now relinquishing even Mathurā, He is beautifying Dwārikā.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says to the gopī, “Oh sakhi! All this is fine. But what amazes me is that even after knowing His nature so well, you still regard only Him as your Beloved and also trust Him alone.”

tajana ko, jāya na sahaja subhāya
jāsoṁ jāya māya devaki taji, yashumati māya banāya
bandīgṛiha taji pitu vasudevahiṁ, pitu naṁdarāya batāya
mathurā taji āyo gokula puni, nandagāṁva mana-bhāya
puni taji nandagāma gaye mathurā, aba dwārikā suhāya
kaha ‘kripālu’ tabahūṁ sakhi! tū kata, asa priyatama patiyāya
