With mind, speech, and body aligned in a single flow, and with complete concentration upon the supreme vow of divine love, Rasik Lalju (Shri Krishna) is wholly immersed in the loving service of Shri Radha.

Śrī Priyā Jī (Rādhā) is the delicate vine of incomparable beauty and grace, while Her Beloved, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, is the sturdy tamāla tree of divine love. Just as a golden vine lovingly entwines a tamāla tree, so Śrī Rādhāvallabha is the united manifestation of the divine form of the eternal Couple.

Every limb of Śrī Śyāmasundara inclines toward Śrī Priyā, for He is wholly absorbed in Her. His heart is naturally shielded and governed by love, so that all the movements of His mind flow continuously toward Śrī Priyā. The reason is that He is bound by the unbreakable cord of divine love.
Unconditional love is nowhere experienced in all the three abodes and fourteen planetary systems. This is only glittering in Vṛndāvana like that of the gemstone in gold.
