Translation

Verse 1

How can a person who in this life did not earnestly worship Śrī Rādhā's lotus feet, the abodes of all auspiciousness, did not take shelter of Śrī Rādhā's lotus abode, which bears the name Vṛndāvana...

Verse 2

...and did not associate with the great souls who deeply love Rādhā joyfully bathe in the nectar ocean of love for Lord Kṛṣṇa? Please know this with a single heart.

Verse 3

Śrī Rādhā is the teacher of ujjvala-rasa. Now we will consider the topic of pure love for Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa.

Verse 4

Anyone who earnestly takes shelter of Śrī Rādhā's feet will attain the priceless jewel that is Lord Kṛṣṇa's feet.

Verse 5

Without first taking shelter of Śrī Rādhā's feet, one will never meet Lord Kṛṣṇa. Lord Kṛṣṇa is the property of Śrī Rādhā's maidservants. This all the Vedas say.

Verse 6

Renouncing wealth, followers, wife, children, and friends, and turning away from karma and jñāna, Bhaktivinoda vows to dedicate his life to the sweet service of Śrī Rādhā's lotus feet.
