balabhrāta satāvai binu bāta rī, māta! rī sunu bāta rī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
A maiden of Braja complains to Mother Yashodā, “Oh Maiyā! Just listen to what I say. Your Kanhaiyā torments me without any reason. He breaks my earthen-pot at the panaghaṭa; sometimes He breaks my pearl-chain and sometimes, steals my clothes from the bank of the Yamunā. And Maiyā! This shameless son of yours also makes coquettish gestures with His brows like a flirt. Not only this, He ogles me with His eyes and says many untoward things with His mouth. And when I try to scold Him, He gives a wry smile.” Hearing this, Shyāmasundara retorted, ‘Oh Maiyā! All these gopīs blame Me falsely. At least you know how innocent your Kanhaiyā is. Oh Maiyā! The reality is that they all want to marry Me.” Innocent Mother Yashodā believed what Kanhaiyā said. She scolded the gopīs away and, says Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, embraced her son.

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
balabhrāta satāvai binu bāta rī, māta! rī sunu bāta rī
phorata ghaṭa naṭakhaṭa panaghaṭa pai,
torata lara, chorata paṭa taṭa pai,
maṭakāvata bhauṁ na lajāta rī, māta! rī sunu bāta rī
kara dṛiga-sainana rasa-raṅga-sane,
ad̤abaṅga ḍhaṅga mukha baina bhane,
kachhu bolūṁ to mṛidu musakāta rī, māta! rī sunu bāta rī
hari kaha jhūṭhehiṁ ye dharati nāma,
sūdho hai ketika tero shyāma,
saba chāhati mohiṁ piya nāta rī, māta! rī sunu bāta rī
bhorī maiyā suni māni gaī,
braja-bālani ḍāṁṭi bhajāya daī,
liya lāya ‘kripālu’ ura māta rī, māta! rī sunu bāta rī
