Translation

Verse 1

My color will be lightning, my garments a host of stars, my name Kamala-mañjarī, my age eternally twelve and a half years, my home Svānanda-sukhada.

Verse 2

My service will be preparing camphor. I will be among Lalitā's followers. The queen of my group will be Rādhā. My queen's master will be Nanda's son. He will be the treasure of my life.

Verse 3

I yearn to serve the divine couple as Śrī Rūpa-mañjarī and the other mañjarīs do. With great faith I will serve Them in that way.

Verse 4

When will this maidservant attain this perfection? When, residing at Rādhā-kuṇḍa, and forgetting my previous lives, will I serve Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa eternally?
