Virah Madhuri · Pad 122

prāṇa hita, pāvasa-grīshama dhāyo

Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj

English meaning

A virahiṇī says, “Now it seems impossible to me to remain alive in the struggle between the seasons of rain and summer. It appears that both of these seasons, i.e. rain and summer, have entered into some competition with each other. The same thing has been described by the Vedas as the state of dissolution (pralaya). On one hand, fierce fire of separation is burning my whole body and on the other hand, the clouds in the form of my eyes are constantly showering the rain of tears. Oh Lord! Just as in the age of Dwāpara, You had drunk dāvānala to save the lives of the residents of Braja, in the same way”, says Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, “please also drink my fire of separation which is burning me through and through, otherwise my pranas are about to leave me. When the fire of separation is extinguished, it will automatically bring a stop to the rain of tears.”

prāṇa hita, pāvasa-grīshama dhāyo

grīshama varashā hod̤a parī aba, pralaya-kāla chali āyo

ita to ati pradīpta-virahānala, saba tana āga lagāyo

uta dou naina-balāhaka jala lai, nishi-dina hī barasāyo

prathama nātha! jyoṁ piye davānala, dukhiyana prāṇa bachāyo

piu ‘kripālu’ tyoṁ piu virahānala, prāṇa kaṇṭha chali āyo
