Rasiya Madhuri · Pad 19
vārī-vārī chhavi, vārī nathavārī kī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
I sacrifice myself on the alluring sight of Shrī Kishorī Jī in whose nose is adorned a nose-ring. The veritable Adornment feels ashamed seeing Kishorī Jī’s adornment and seeing Kishorī Jī’s beauty, the veritable Beauty is put out of countenance. Absolutely enchanting is the decoration of the strings of pearls on Her gem-studded crown! Kishorī Jī’s curly, black and lavish ringlets are extremely lovely. The blue garment on Her resplendent fair-complexioned body presents the sight of the cloud and lightning meeting each other. The nose-ring as well as the besara embellished in Her nose are bending, swaying and kissing Her mouth repeatedly. The beauty of the red henna on Her hands, the red mihāvara on Her feet and the red sindūra on Her head is a sight worth seeing! The jingle of the golden kaṅkaṇas, golden bangles, golden kiṅkiṇī and golden anklets forcibly fascinates the heart! That sight of Kishorī Jī whose abode is Barasānā, is absolutely ineffable by all similes when in one moment, She does māna, and in the very next, smiles. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says, “I like watching Shyāmasundara at that time the most when Kishorī Jī throws a love-laden glance on Him turning round once.”

lakhi shṛiṅgāra lajata shṛiṅgārahuṁ, chhavi-chhavi chhavi asa pyārī kī
maṇina-alaṅkṛita kanaka-mukuṭa para, lara-muktana manahārī kī
ghūṁghara-vārī ati aniyārī, chhavi pyārī laṭakārī rī
ambara nīla gaura-tanu chhavi janu, ghana-dāmini anuhārī kī
jhuki jhūmati nāsā natha-besara, mukha chūmani chhavi nyārī kī
kara mehaṁdī, paga rachī mihāvari, sira seṅdura aruṇārī kī
kanakana kaṅkana kiṅkini nūpura, dhuni chūrina jhanakārī kī
chhinahiṁ māna, musakāna chhinahiṁ puni, chhavi barasāne-vārī kī
kaha ‘kripālu’ ika chitavani mahaṁ gati, lakhata banata banavārī kī
