(1) Mohanjīnī re (pad - 4)
Mohanjīnī re, līlā ati sukhkārī;
Ānand āpe re, suṇtā nyārī nyārī. 1
Listening to the novel and blissful divine actions of Mahārāj gives great joy. 1
Kyārek vāto re, kare munivar sāthe;
Guchchh gulābnā re, choḷe chhe be hāthe. 2
Sometimes He converses with sādhus while stroking a small bunch of roses with His hands. 2
Shitaḷ jāṇī re, limbu hār gulābī;
Tene rākhe re, ānkhyo upar dābī. 3
Knowing lemons and a garland of roses (to be inherently) cool, He would often keep them pressed against His eyes. 3
Kyārek pote re, rājīpāmā hoye;
Vāto kare re, kathā vanchāve toye. 4
Sometimes, in a pleased mood, He would talk (with someone) even though a scripture was being read out loud. 4
Sāmbhaḷe kīrtan re, pote kāīk vichāre;
Pūchhvā āve re, jamvānu koī tyāre. 5
Often, listening to kīrtans, He would ponder. At this time, if someone would come to ask Him about His meal, or… 5
Hār chaḍhāve re, pūjā karvā āve;
Tenā upar re, bahu khījī rīsāve. 6
…if someone would put a garland on him, or if someone would come to do His pujā, he would become very upset and annoyed with that person. 6
Kathā sāmbhaḷtā re, hare hare kahī bole;
Marma kathāno re, suṇī magan thaī ḍole. 7
Often, while listening to the scriptural reading, He would exclaim “Hare Hare!” Upon hearing the essence of the reading, He would become pleased and would sway (from side to side). 7
Bhān kathāmā re, bījī kriyā māye;
Kyārek achānak re, jamtā hare bolāye. 8
His attention would be in scriptural reading even while performing daily activities. At times, He would suddenly exclaim ‘‘Hare!’ even while eating. 8
Thāye smruti re, potāne jyāre tenī;
Thoḍuk hase re, bhakta sāmu joī benī. 9
My dear friend, when He realized what He had done, He would look towards the devotees and laugh a little. 9
Em Hari nit nit re, ānand ras varsāve;
E līlā ras re, joī Premānand gāve. 10
In that way Mahārāj would constantly shower joy. Premānand sings of those divine acts, having seen them. 10
