Kaamp uthi dukh mein vasudha,
jab paap ka bhaar badhyo ati bhaaro.
Bhaar apaar utaaran ko,
sahasaanan ne nar ko tan dhaaro.
Rohini au Vasudev ke putra,
kiyo tum Gokul gaam sukhaaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥1॥
Nand Yashomati ko sukhde,
Brajwasin ke ur prem prachaaro.
Raas rachaay kiyo parihaas,
sada nij bhaktan ko pan paaro.
Baal sakhaan mein khel rachaay ke,
Dhenuka maari dhara par daaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥2॥
Maran hetu Pralamb tumhen,
nij roop banaay ke gwaal ko nyaari.
Baal sakhaan ke saath mein bhed chhupaay ke,
khelan khel sidhaaro.
Peeth chadhaay ke bhaago tumhen,
nij bojh ke bhaar se daabike maaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥3॥
Mushtik mall bulaay ke,
Kans ne aapas mein mil mantr vichaaro.
Baandh langot akhaade mein aay,
firay langot javai kilkaaro.
Jaay akhaade mein kood pade tum,
Mushtik Chanur maari sanhaaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥4॥
Maari anekan dushton ke dal,
bhutal bhaar apaar utaaro.
Dai sukh gau-dwij-devon ko,
muni-santan ke sab sankat taaro.
Phoolan ki varsha varasaay,
kiyo sab devan ne tero jaykaaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥5॥
Ter suni na aver kari,
nij bhaktan ko sab kaaraj saaro.
Paap pahaad ko chhaar karo,
bhay bhoori haro bhav paar utaaro.
Kor kripa ki nihaarat hi,
vinasaavat kasht kathor karaaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥6॥
Gyaan prakash karo ur maahi,
vinaash karo chit ko andhiyaaro.
Moh haro mad krodh haro,
aru kaam ko lobh ko naam pajaaro.
Naath anathan ke tum ho,
dhari haath kripa ko anaath sudhaaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥7॥
Daas kare ardaas prabhu,
majhdhaar mein aay phasyau apu dhaaro.
Doobat aaj jahaaj mero,
naahi deekh parai dukh maahi kinaaro.
Haath tere patwaar dai,
ab naath tuhi ik khevanvaaro.
Kaun bakhaan sakai jag mein,
Baldev vichitra charitra tihaaro॥8॥
⏰ Best Time
The most ideal time for reciting (path) is considered to be after taking a bath in the early morning, because at that time the mind is calm, the body is pure, and the environment is also sacred, which helps in deep concentration and increases devotional feelings. Apart from this, reciting during the evening aarti time is also considered highly auspicious and fruitful, because that is the time when the day comes to an end and the mind becomes filled with spiritual energy, bringing a special sense of peace and satisfaction in the worship of the Lord. Similarly, reciting on the day of Purnima (full moon) and on sacred occasions like Balram Janmotsav is considered especially auspicious. Recitation done on these holy occasions not only provides spiritual benefits but also enhances positive energy, happiness, peace, and prosperity in life. Therefore, it is said that reciting with devotion and discipline at these special times and occasions holds great importance.
