Kaho Piya!, Kin Tohin Rasik Banayo.
Kab Varah Bani Roop-Rashi-Bal, Mohanmadan Kahayo.
Dhari Tanu Meen Vari Bich Basi Kab, Gopin Cheer Churayo. [1]
Lalit Tribhang Roop Dhari Kachhap, Kab Var Venu Bajayo.
Raghvendra, Vaman Bani Kab Tum, Sakhiyan Ras Rachayo. [2]
Kab Nrsingh Bani Rudra Roop Dhari, Pranay-Man-Ras Payo.
Lahi ‘Kripalu’ Radhe-Bal Kachhu Ras, Rasikan Naam Ginayo. [3]
- Jagadguru Shri Kripaluji Maharaj, Prem Ras Madira, Virah Madhuri (80)
A sakhī teasing Lord Krishna—O Beloved! Tell me, whose grace has granted You this title of “Rasika” (connoisseur of divine love)? In Your previous Śūkra-avatāra, when, taking the form of a pig, were You called ‘Madan Mohan’ (captivator of even the God of beauty, Kamadeva)? In the Matsya-avatāra, when, assuming the form of a fish and dwelling in water, did You ever perform the pastimes of stealing the garments of the Gopīs? [1]
In the Kacchapa-avatāra, when, taking the form of a tortoise, did You play the sweet notes of Your flute in a tribhaṅga (threefold-curved) form? In the Rāma-avatāra and Vāmana-avatāra, when did You ever relish the rasa of Mahārāsa with the Gopīs? [2]
In the Nṛsiṁha-avatāra, when did your terrifying form ever derive pleasure from pleasing a māninī Radha? Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī teases Shyāmasundara: “It is only in this present incarnation of Krishna that even You started regarding Yourself as a rasika, after attaining some divine love-bliss through the grace of Śrī Radha Jī. In Your previous incarnations, what else did you do except destroying demons, protecting saints, and establishing dharma?” [3]
