This creeper of intense longing has begun to wither very rapidly. If the dark raincloud, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, accompanied by the lightning of Śrī Rādhā, does not come here to shower the water of Their grace, this creeper of longing, deeply distressed by separation, will surely be destroyed.
O Lord! For me, You alone are my sole refuge and my everything, yet for You, there are countless souls and loving devotees like me. Therefore, O source of my life, my beloved! Do whatever You wish, but bestow such grace that this vow of my selfless love may be sustained forever.
O Śrī Rādhā Mahārāṇī, whose eyes are as graceful as a deer, who bestows bliss and is the very embodiment of supreme happiness — O my Svāminī, who performs Her loving pastimes in Govardhana, in the forests of Vṛndāvana, and along the banks of Yamunā — kindly reside forever within my heart.
The rāsa-vilāsa pastimes of the divine Couple are so unfathomable that they are beyond my comprehension. What to speak of remembering them in their fullness — here, such a state arises that even the mere utterance of the syllable “Rā” from the name “Rādhā” causes horripilation and trembling within the body in divine ecstasy.
My longing is solely for the darśana of the lotus-like faces of the divine couple, Śrī Rādhā–Kṛṣṇa. I have abandoned all other paths, including yogic practices. If their union is not bestowed upon me soon, these very breaths of life will depart.
What means shall I adopt so that I may behold the lotus faces of the Divine Couple, Shri Shyama-Shyam? What shall I do? Whom shall I turn to? This pain has now become utterly unbearable.
What should I do, whom should I tell, who will understand, where shall I go? With my heart burning in longing for a glimpse of the divine couple, Shri Radha Krishna, I roam the sacred groves of Vrindavan, crying out their names in desperation.
Shri Radha Krishna, the divine couple, forever embrace in the eternal plays of “Nitya Vihara” within the bowers of Vrindavan. My heart, filled with deep longing, yearns to meet them.
If you judge me according to my deeds, O Lord, then I am such a great sinner that my redemption would never be possible. Apart from you, I have no other refuge. You are supremely merciful, the one who embraces even the fallen. Therefore, O crown jewel of Rasikas, please shower your grace upon this wretched soul, as per your compassionate nature.
It is my heartfelt desire that ever-youthful Shri Radha calls me to her side, offers me the betel leaf she has chewed with her tender hands, and places the garland from her own neck around mine.
If one wanders through the groves of Vrindavan with the hope of meeting the divine couple, Shri Shyamashyam, then unknowingly, at some unexpected moment, he will surely meet the divine couple.
Inconceivable loving desires arise in my mind, but who can fulfill them? Only Ladliji (Shri Radha) will now show mercy, considering me poor and distressed.
O beloved Sri Radha, so delicate and cherished! Your form is mysterious and exquisite, stealing the hearts of all. O goddess, eternal in youthfulness, please grace me with a glimpse of your charming face, if only for a moment.
True respite for the ears lies in their pastimes, for the mind in their remembrance, for the tongue in chanting their names, and for the eyes, there is no other refuge but the beautiful faces of the Divine Couple, Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.
O lovely Goddess Śrī Rādhikā! Without my speaking a single word, You know my heart perfectly well—that nothing enchants me except the association of Your divine lotus feet.
O Queen of Vṛndāvana, Śrī Rādhā! Kindly cast Your merciful glance upon me, and from the corner of Your compassionate eyes, shower the nectar of divine love.
Śrī Rādhikā is an unfathomable ocean of infinite divine qualities and the very abode of transcendental nectar. One can attain the fulfillment of all possible joys and spiritual perfections simply by chanting even the 'half' of Her sacred Name—the mere syllable Rā.
Śrī Vṛndāvana is the supremely sacred abode of the divine rasa of Śrī Yugal Kiśora, where, under the supreme influence of divine love, the eyes of Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa remain fixed upon one another. Their lotus faces remain in constant loving contact, Their bodies are entwined in embrace, and They are forever immersed in the intense nectar of surata-rasa.
