Rasiya Madhuri · Pad 21
vṛindāvana, rasikana rajadhānī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A rasika says, “Shrī Vṛindāvana is the capital abode of rasikas. In this capital, Her Highness Shrī Rādhā is glorified as the swāminī. In this capital, the four types of liberation in their personified form perform the service of water-carriers. Realizing the dust of this divine capital to be the life-giving herb, Brahmā, the creator of the world, begs for the same in the guise of a beggar. Even Mahālakshmī and Saraswatī do not have the right of entering this capital.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says that it suffices to say that the importance of Vṛindāvana is known even by Shyāmasundara only to a little extent, by Shrī Rādhā’s grace.
