2Nīlamaṇi tanu lakhi gai balihāra.

3tribhuvana sundara kāmadeva aru, rati hai usakī nāra.

4unate aganita gunita manohara, haiṁ sundara sarakāra.

5unakī sundaratā unake hī, mana ko mohanahāra.

6unakī chinmaya tanu lakhi gyānihūṁ, mānata muktīhiṁ khāra.

7shiva, shuka, janaka, sanaka tanu chhavi lakhi, deta samādhi bisāra.

8umā, ramā, brahmāṇī, vāṇī, lakhi nahiṁ pativrata dhāra.

9unake roma roma te santata, baha braja rasa kī dhāra.

10kaha ‘Kṛipālu’ una tanu rasa chākhata, bhala vṛishabhānudulāra.

11One sakhi describing the beautiful Divine form of Shyāmasundara says

12to another, I have sacrificed my mind, body and very life beholding the

13matchless beauty of Shyāmasundara’s Divine body. Kāmadeva (Cupid)

14and his wife, Rati are the acme of beauty in the three worlds, but the

15beauty of Shyāmasundara far surpasses their beauty and is countless

16times more charming and captivating. The gyānīs (non-dualists) who

17are fortunate to experience the overwhelming sweetness of His Divine

18form, find the bliss of liberation to be sour in comparison. Great yogīs

19like Shiva, Shukadeva, Janaka and Sanaka etc. forget the joy of their

20trance seeing the splendour of Shrī Kṛishṇa’s Divine body. Even

21sovereign female personalities like Pārvatī, Laxmī and Saraswatī etc.

22could not observe fidelity to their husbands seeing the captivating

23unparalleled beauty of Shyāmasundara. The nectar of Divine bliss

24perpetually flows from every pore of Nīlamaṇi. According to the saint

25poet Kṛipālu, it is only Shrī Rādhā who fully tastes the sweet ineffable

26nectar of Shrī Kṛishṇa’s Divine form.
