O Svāminī (Śrī Rādhā)! I have accepted You alone as the worshipful Deity of my lineage and my one and only Mistress. You alone do I constantly enshrine within my eyes and in the depths of my heart.
I offer my repeated salutations unto the supremely sacred Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma, where attaining even the position of a tiny blade of grass is extremely rare for divine beings such as Lord Brahmā. Yet this divine abode is ever eager to grant supreme support and shelter to insignificant souls like ourselves.
Who is there to speak, and who is there to hear? Lāl Jī (Śrī Kṛṣṇa), knows nothing apart from Śrī Rādhā. Without His beloved and only Svāminī, Śrī Rādhikā, the whole world appears empty and meaningless to Him.
Blessed indeed is this moment, for the divine couple, Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa, are swinging upon the swing of love. Dressed in garments of blue and yellow, their radiance overflows in every direction.
The two eyes of Govardhan Hill are none other than the two twin sacred ponds — Shri Radha Kund and Shri Shyam Kund. Their glory is such that they are none other than the Divine Couple, Shri Radha and Shri Krishna Themselves. No other comparison can ever do justice to their divine essence.
O Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma, O Vaṁśīvaṭa, O groves of the Yamunā, O Śrī Rādhā Kuṇḍa situated in Govardhana—the treasure of all bliss—it is the fathomless love of Śrī Rādhā’s heart alone that has manifested in Your very form.
I humbly pay my respects to the 'Ananya' [exclusive] Rasikas, in whose hearts the divine couple exclusively resides, and not even in their dreams does any other dwell.
Among millions of devotees, only one is a truly pure devotee. Among millions of such pure devotees, only one is a rasika. And even among those rasikas, an exclusive rasika (rasika-ananya) is exceedingly rare.
O, Shri Radhe, I am under Your shelter. I sacrifice myself upon you; your divine personified form is in my sight as I perform Your Arti.
