Translation

Verse 1

When will Śrī Rūpa-mañjarī take me to a secluded place and with sweet words describe the glories of Rādhā-kuṇḍa?

Verse 2

"Beyond the fourteen worlds is Vaikuṇṭha, and beyond that is supremely glorious Mathurā.

Verse 3

"Within the circle of Mathurā, the best place is Vṛndāvana forest, the place of the rāsa-dance pastime. Please hear my words.

Verse 4

"Of the places of Kṛṣṇa's pastimes Govardhana is superior and Rādhā-kuṇḍa is best. It is glorious with all potencies."

Verse 5

Hearing Rādhā-kuṇḍa's glories, and yearning to go there, I will suddenly fall unconscious.

Verse 6

When will I fervently pray at a sakhī's feet? When will that sakhī mercifully give me my proper place in the spiritual rasas?
