Rasiya Madhuri · Pad 1
aṭako dṛiga, lakhi naṭakhaṭa paṭa ko
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
My eyes refused to move elsewhere on seeing Shyāmasundara’s silken wrapper. The stunning beauty of His black, lavish and curly locks of hair defies all descriptions. His golden crown enchants the heart as if with a spell. It becomes even more captivating with a peacock-feather beautifully tucked in it. The shimmering earrings dangling from His ears look extremely lovely. And absolutely indescribable are the sidelong looks of love of His mischievous eyes. It is impossible for anyone not to be inebriated with divine intoxication after seeing His blandishments saturated with love. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that even Kāmadeva fell down in an ecstatic swoon, seeing Bhagwan Kṛishṇa’s intimate divine love-sports.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
aṭako dṛiga, lakhi naṭakhaṭa paṭa ko
kārī aniyārī ghuṁgharārī, ko baranai aṭapaṭa laṭa ko
hāṭaka mukuṭa karata janu trāṭaka, tā para mora-mukuṭa aṭako
jhalamala bhala chala chañchala kuṇḍala, chapala dṛigañchala ko laṭako
lakhi mana-bhāvana hāvana-bhāvana, ko mana bhāva na naṭakhaṭa ko
kaha ‘kripālu’ lakhi rati-rasa-raṅgani, manahuṁ anaṅgani aṭaki ṭako
