Prakirna Madhuri · Pad 16
bhaye mohana soṁ nainā chāra, arī sunu o sajanī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
My eyes have met with Shyāmasundara’s eyes. Oh sakhi! Listen. I was going to the bank of the river Yamunā, when Shyāmasundara came right there all of a sudden. Oh sakhi! Listen, He attacked me with His side-long looks of love. Getting injured, I fell on the ground in the same way as a doe falls after being pierced in her heart with an arrow, and fainted after saying, “Oh beloved Nandakumāra!” Oh sakhi! Finding me in the state of unconsciousness, that cruel trickster smiled and struck a melodious note in His flute. As soon as I heard that enchanting music of the flute, I regained consciousness. Right then, knowing the feelings of my heart, Shyāmasundara lifted me in His arms. In the words of Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī, the sakhī says, “Oh sakhi! The sweet ecstasy which I experienced at that touch of the Beloved is indescribable, or I do not want to disclose this intimate love-bliss of the Beloved.”

The original verse in Roman letters, as printed in the English edition.
bhaye mohana soṁ nainā chāra, arī sunu o sajanī
hauṁ jāti rahī yamunā taṭa pai,
chaṭa āya achānaka panaghaṭa pai
naina bānana soṁ kiya hari vāra, arī sunu o sajanī
hauṁ ghāyala girī dharaṇi lakhi tyoṁ,
ura bāṇa biṁdhī hiraṇī sakhi! jyoṁ,
kahi ‘hāya piya! nandakumāra’, arī sunu o sajanī
mohiṁ murchhita lakhi sakhi! so chhaliyā,
bedardī mṛidu musakāya piyā,
tāna chhed̤ī murali rijhavāra, arī sunu o sajanī
suni tāna gaī murachhā tana kī,
parasyo tana jāna kānha mana kī
ko barane ‘kripālu’ sukha yāra, arī sunu o sajanī
