Shrimad Chaturasi Path — Pad 1 | Chaurasi Ji Ka Path Arth Sahit | प्रेम की पूर्ण एकता

Original pad (Devanagari)

जोई-जोई प्यारौ करै सोई मोहि भावै,
भावै मोहि जोई सोई-सोई करै प्यारे ।
मोकौं तो भावती ठौर प्यारे के नैनन में,
प्यारौ भयौ चाहै मेरे नैनन के तारे ॥
मेरे तन मन प्राण हूँ ते प्रीतम प्रिय,
अपने कोटिक प्राण प्रीतम मोंसों हारे ।
जय श्रीहित हरिवंश हंस-हंसिनी साँवल-गौर,
कहौ कौन करै जल-तरंगनी न्यारे ॥१॥

Transliteration

joī-joī pyārau karai soī mohi bhāvai,
bhāvai mohi joī soī-soī karai pyāre.

pyārau bhayau cāhai mere nainan ke tāre.
mere tan man prāṇ hūṁ te prītam priya,
apane koṭik prāṇ prītam moṁsoṁ hāre.

Translation

Whatever my Beloved does, that alone pleases me, and whatever pleases me, my Beloved does just the same. My favourite place is in my Beloved's eyes, and my Beloved longs to be the star of my eyes. My Beloved is dearer to me than my body, mind and life itself, and my Beloved has staked millions of His own lives upon me. Says Śrī Hita Harivaṁśa — like the pair of the dark and fair swan and his mate, who can separate the water from its wave?

Explanation

In this pad Śrī Rādhā speaks of a love in which two hearts have become one. What Kṛṣṇa does pleases Her, and what pleases Her, Kṛṣṇa does — there is no longer any difference between their wishes. The images of the dark swan with his fair mate, and of the water that cannot be parted from its wave, show a love that is one in feeling, mind and heart, though the bodies are two.

Summary

Two bodies, one heart — Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are inseparable, like water and its wave.
