shrī rādhe! tore kauna balāya lagī?
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Seeing Shrī Vṛishabhānunandinī, who is inebriated with the love of Her beloved Shyāmasundara, one of Her most intimate friends asks Her, “Oh Kishorī Jī! What ails You? I do not know what You keep on thinking, resting Your chin on Your hand, as if You are drunk with the love of Your Beloved. Your alluring eyes are intoxicated and drowsy as if You passed the night awake. One moment, You roam in and out of the courtyard like a lunatic, and the next moment, You come back and sit in a totally indifferent mood. All the eight symptoms of divine ecstasy appear frequently in Your body as if the river of love is thundering towards her beloved ocean.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “Oh Kishorī Jī! Why are You concealing the secret of Your love from me? I am Your intimate friend.”
