dhanya chora siramora, mora priya, paṅkha mora priya shashikula-kāro

English meaning

A virahiṇī sarcastically says, “Blessed is my beloved Shyāmasundara, who is the crest-jewel of thieves, wears a peacock-feather on His head, and is the blemish on the lunar-dynasty. When He descended, the paksha was black (it was the eighth day of the kṛishṇa paksha) and even clouds were black. His body-complexion was also black and as soon as that Prankster placed His foot on the earth (descended), He took the help of His black deceiving power, yogamāyā. Through that yogamāyā only, He left the prison (because all the doors were automatically unlocked and the gate-keepers fell asleep) and crossed the river Yamunā. (Prison is a black place because of inhabiting bad people, and the colour of the river Yamunā is also black.) After that, that Trickster deluded Yashodā into sleep through yogamāyā, and took her shelter by becoming her son. Although it is heard that the palace of Nanda was a treasure-house of gems (i.e. Nanda was extremely rich), still, helpless before His deceitful nature, Shyāmasundara started the black deed of stealing. First that Trickster stole butter, then clothes, and then, He stole even my attachment to all my worldly relatives. After this, He stole my heart. But even after all this, He was not satisfied. Even the leaders of the greatest worldly thieves steal only gross objects which are visible in the world, but this Trickster stole away even my invisible innumerable sins of the innumerable past lives and destroyed them forever. As if all this was not enough, He further ignited the fire of separation in my heart with the intention of burning me in that fire.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “I am not worried about myself being burnt at all; my only worry is lest even beloved Shyāmasundara who resides in my heart be burnt.”
