Translation

Verse 1

Śrī Rādhā is a cintāmaṇi jewel of ecstatic love. Her form is a treasury of precious jewels. Dressed and decorated by Her friends, She is glorious. Bathing in the nectars of compassion, youth, and luster, She eclipses the goddess of fortune Lakṣmīdevī.

Verse 2

She wears the silken sari of modesty, and on Her forehead She wears the red kunkum dot of loveliness. Her body is decorated with pictures drawn in musk, and She wears a necklace that is adorned with the fresh jewels of the ecstatic symptoms-shivering in the body, flowing of tears from the eyes, standing of hairs on the body, being stunned, perspiring, faltering of the voice, inactivity, and madness.

Verse 3

Sri Radha is very much beautified by wearing the flower garland strung with Her twenty-five transcendental qualities, and She is clothed in the two-part silken garment of both sober and non-sober emotional ecstasies. Covered indignation constitutes Her braided and ornamented hair, and She is radiant with the tilak of auspicious fortune. The name and glories of Krsna are the delight of Her ears.

Verse 4

Srimati Radharani's lips have become very red from chewing betel nuts, and the black collyrium of cunningness is clearly visible on Her eyes. Her smile is like sweet camphor, and she is always fond of joking. She sits upon a bed of pride in a palace of fame and glory, and a garland of extraordinary transformations of ecstatic love hangs swinging from around Her neck.

Verse 5

Her breasts are covered by the bodice of loving anger. She plays on a lute called kacchapi (turtle-shaped) to announce the conquest of Her rival Candravali. Radha is always fond of placing Her playful lotus like hands on the shoulders of two of Her girlfriends. Her youthful form is very graceful and slender, and She is the exclusive distributor of the nectar of LordSyamasundara.

Verse 6

Śrī Rādhā's feet are your treasure. Placing a straw between his teeth, poor Bhaktivinoda prays, "O Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, O Śrīla Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, please give me a drop of the nectar of direct service to Śrī Rādhā."
