pirovati rādhā aṁsuvana hāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Shrī Rādhā is wreathing a garland of tears in separation from beloved Shyāmasundara. Like a lovelorn chātaka bird, She is continuously sighing, ‘Oh Beloved!’, ‘Oh Beloved!’, ‘Oh Life of my life!’ She has no attraction left for food, clothes, ornaments etc. Her fair-complexioned body has grown very thin in the intolerable grief of separation from Her beloved. Yearning to meet Shyāmasundara, She keeps on asking immovable and movable creatures, i.e creepers, trees, beasts, birds, etc., “Have you seen My beloved anywhere?” Sometimes, She visits the places where She had previously enjoyed love-sports with Her beloved and recalling those enrapturing moments, She, like a mad person, embraces the creepers and trees around. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that Kishorī Jī then loses all consciousness of Herself and falls on the ground in a swoon. Lalitā and other sakhīs try various ways to terminate Her unconsciousness.

pirovati rādhā aṁsuvana hāra
raṭati chātakī sarisa nirantara, ‘pivu! pivu! prāṇādhāra!’
bhūshana, asana, basana, nahiṁ bhāvata, kṛisha-tanu viraha apāra
jad̤a jaṅgama saba soṁ nita pūchhati, ‘tuma dekhe rijhavāra?’
kabahuṁka latā, viṭapa bhari bheṁṭati, kari kari surati bihāra
hoti ‘kripālu’ chhinahiṁ chhina murchhita, sakhina karati upachāra
