Virah Madhuri · Pad 142
mādho! māni laī hama hāra
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Completely immersed in divine love-bliss, Uddhava addressing his friend Shyāmasundara, says, “Mādhava! I have accepted my defeat. Had I known this before, I would not have gone to give knowledge to gopīs. You deliberately sent me there. Blessed are the deceitful friends like You! On the one hand, ‘knowledge’ got blemished and on the other, I got the title of a twitterer. Now, even I have stopped caring for the ‘knowledge’ after realizing ‘love’ to be the essence of all scriptures.” In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, Uddhava says, “Now the tears of love keep on flowing from these eyes involuntarily.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
mādho! māni laī hama hāra
jo janateuṁ prathamahiṁ nahiṁ jāteuṁ, gyāna dena brajanāra
tuma mohiṁ jāni jāni tahaṁ paṭhayehu, dhanya chhalina saradāra!
bhayo gyāna badanāma itai uta, milī upādhi ‘labāra’
dīna gyāna kahaṁ bhāra ḍāra aba, jāna prema hī sāra
aba ‘kripālu’ barabasa ina nainana, bahata prema jala dhārā
