    1 The beloved daughter of King Vṛṣabhānu, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, is the crest-jewel of all the young damsels of Vṛṇdāvan. She is fond of wearing blue garments. Her radiant complexion is very pleasing and conquers the brightness of freshly cut gold. Her charming locks of hair are nicely arranged and she is the life and soul of Lord Kṛṣṇa.

    tilaka-suśobhita-bhālā
    kañchulikāchchhāditā,  stana-maṇi-maṇḍitā,
    kajjala-nayanī rasālā

    2 She is artfully adorned with jewels, She is expert in all of the various sweet devotional relationships with the Lord. Her forehead is further beatified by the presence of the tilak mark. Her breasts are covered with a beautiful corset and adorned with valuable gems, and Her eyes are anointed with black collyrium. Thus she appears as relishable sweetness personified.

    sakala tyajiyā se rādhā-charaṇe
    dāsī ho’ye bhaja parama-jatane

    3 Giving up everything and becoming a maidservant at the lotus feet of Rādhā, just worship and serve Her with great care and attention.

    Beholding Her effulgent rays of pure beauty, the goddesses Rati, Gaurī, and Līlā abandon all their pride.

    5 The good fortune attributed to the goddesses Śachī, Lakṣmī, and Satyā is completely defeated in the presence of Rādhā's feet.

    kṛṣṇa-vaśīkāre chandrāvalī-ādi
    parājay māne hoiyā vivādī

    6 The group of rival gopīs led by Chandrāvalī is forced to accept their defeat before Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, for She alone controls Kṛṣṇa. Thus they always sulk and simply remain quarrelsome.

    7 Bhaktivinoda, a resident of Śrī Godruma, always endeavors for the lotus feet of Rādhā, the most beloved of Lord Hari.
