॥ रागनी आसावरी ॥
वंदे अख्त्यार भला।
चित न डुलाव आव समाधि भीतर न होहु अगला॥
न फिर दर दर पिदर दर न होअहु अंधला।
कहें श्री हरिदास करता कीया सो हुआ सुमेरू अचल चला॥६॥

कारेइ मोहन कारेइ सोहन, कारी कालेन्दजा के तट आयो।
खेलत गेंद गिरी दह में तब कारे से नाग लो जाय जगायो॥
नाग को नाथ लियो छिन में अरु कारे के सीस पै नृत्य करायो।
‘गोविंद’ यों प्रभु शोभा बखानत कारे कौ नाथ के नाथ कहायो॥४९॥
This Sawaiya verse depicts the episode of Kaliya-manthan in Vrindavan. Poet Govid says:
“Krishna was playing with a ball with his friends on the banks of dark, deep waters of River Yamuna, when his ball fell into Kaliya-dah, a part of the river where Kaliya Nag, the thousand-headed snake lived. Krishna fought with Kaliya and emerged victorious, dancing on Kaliya’s heads. I cannot describe in words the awesome scene…”
Kaliya Nag is a symbol of the 5 senses, and the episode signifies that the master of the senses should be Krishna, else the waters of life would be poisoned by the craving and misery that the senses are capable of bringing, just like the presence of Kaliya Nag in Kaliya-dah, Vrindavan, poisoned the fresh river water.

खंजन नैन फंसे छवि पिंजर, नाहिं रहैं थिर कैसेहु माई।
छूटि गई कुल कानि सखी ‘रसखान’ लखी मुसकानि सुहाई॥
चित्र लिखी सी भई सब देह न वैन कढ़ै मुख दीन्हें दुहाई।
कैसी करूं जित जाऊं तितै सब बोलि उठैं वह बांवरी आई॥४८॥
Meaning of this sawaiya verse by Raskhan
My eyes have been arrested by the all attractive sight of Krishna :-)
On seeing Krishna, the treasure of bliss, smile at me, I forget my social attachments. My state is such that I am still like a picture, my body is still, no words escape my lips. Wherever I go, people say, ‘O, she is crazy!’

केहि पापसों पापी न प्राण चलैं अटके कित कौन विचारलयो।
नहिं जानि परै ‘हरिचन्द’ कछू विधि ने हमसों हठ कौन ठयो॥
निसि आज हू हाय बिहाय गई बिन दर्शन कैसे न जीव गयो।
हत भागिनी आंखन सों नित के दुख देखबे को फिर भोर भयो॥४४॥

श्री कुंजविहारिणे नमः
॥ राग विलावल ॥
ए हरि! मोसौ न विगारन कौ, तोसो न संभारन कौ, मोहि तोहि परी होड़।
कौनधौ जीते कौनधौ हारें, पर बदी न छोड़॥
तुम्हारी माया बाजी विचित्र पसारी, मोहे मुनि सुनि भुले काके कोड़।
कहें श्री हरिदास हम जीते, हारे तुम, तोउ न तोड़॥५॥
Sri Haridas says, ‘O, Hari, I am competing with you. There is none who can mess up things more than me, and there is none who can make things alright as you can…. Even if I win, I am a loser in reality.’

श्री कुंजविहारिणे नमः
॥राग विभास॥
कबहूं कबहूं मन इत उत जात याते अब कौन अधिक सुख।
बहुत भांतिन घत आनि राख्यो नाहिंतौ पावतौ दुःख॥
कोटि काम लावण्य बिहारी ताके, मुंहाचुहीं सब सुख लिये रहत रुख।
श्री हरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी कों, दिन देखत रहौ विचित्र मुख॥
Sri Haridas ji says, ‘Many times the mind gets distracted but there is no pleasure in that. I bring it back to my center, else this mind would make me very unhappy. Sri Banke Bihari’s divine beauty is so enticing and the greatest of pleasures. With wonder and adoration I look at my masters Sri Radha Rani and Sri Krishna.’

श्री कुंजविहारिणे नमः
॥ राग विभास ॥
काहू को वश नाहि, तुम्हारी कृपा ते सब होई, बिहारी बिहारिनि।
और मिथ्या प्रपंच काहे को भाषिये, सोतौ है हारिनि॥
जाहि तुमसों हित तासों तुम हित करौ, सब सुख कारिनी।
श्री हरिदास के स्वामी स्यामा कुंजबिहारी, प्राननि के आधारिनी॥२॥
Sri Haridas ji says, ‘Sri Krishna and Radha Rani, it is by your grace alone that everything gets done. It is pointless to discuss the complex cause and effects that are apparent, but not true. Whoever feels connected to you, you take care of them. You are my life.’
