Virah Madhuri · Pad 173
sakhī! ina, aṁkhiyana ko samujhāya
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A virahiṇī says, “Oh sakhi! These eyes, which are inebriated with the bliss of divine love, are impossible to be brought round by persuasion. Since the time they had a slight glimpse of Shyāmasundara’s supremely lovely form, they have been inebriated with love and are sacrificing themselves repeatedly on that same heart-stealing sight. Due to the intoxication of love, the eyelids get half-closed over and over and the eyes always shed tears of bliss resulting from Shyāmasundara’s sweet union. Seeing these tipsy eyes, the friends ask me, “What have you found?” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “A beggar since the beginning-less time, she has found pārasa, but in exchange for that, she also had to pay the price of the total surrender of her body, mind and soul.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
sakhī! ina, aṁkhiyana ko samujhāya
jaba te ṭuka jhāṁkī vā jhāṁkī, bāṁkī chhavi balabhāya
taba te vārī ati matavārī, vārī-vārī jāya
jhuki jhuki parata, jharata dṛiga jhara-jhara, surati bisūrata hāya
matavārī aṁkhiyana lakhi sakhiyana, pūchhati ‘kā rī pāya?’
kaha ‘kripālu’ pāyehu pārasa pai, tana-mana-prāna gamāya
