pañca-sakhī madhye cāra nitya-siddha rādhikāra se sakale sādhana nā koilo sakhī boli' ukta jei sādhana-prabhābe tei braja-rāja pure bāsa pāilo

अर्थ

Of the five kinds of Śrī Rādhā's sakhī friends, the last four are eternally perfect and never performed sādhana. The first kind, called simply "sakhī", attained residence in the town of Vraja's king by the power of their sādhana.

2

sei sakhī dwi-prakāra sādhanete siddha āra sādhana-para boliyā gaṇana siddha boli' ākhya tāṅra gopī-deha hoilo jāṅra kori' rāge jugala-bhajana

अर्थ

These sakhīs are of two kinds: 1. they who are perfect and remain performing sādhana, and 2. they who are beyond sādhana. These sakhīs are called "siddha" (perfect). Attaining gopīs' bodies, they worship the divine couple with great love.

kṛṣṇākṛṣṭa muni-jana tathā upaniṣad-gaṇa je nā loilo gopīra swarūpa sādhana ābeśe bhaje siddhi tabu nā upaje braja-bhāba-prāpti aparūpa

अर्थ

Many great sages and personified Upaniṣads did not attain gopī forms. Although they worshiped with great sādhana, they did not attain the final perfection of entering the wonderful world of Vraja.

je je śruti-muni-gaṇa gopī haya su-bhajana korilo sakhīra pada dhari' nitya-sakhī-kṛpā-bale tat-sālokya-lābha-phale sebā kore śrī-rādhā-śrī-hari

अर्थ

Still, by intense devotional service many great sages and personified Vedas became gopīs. They grasped the feet of a nitya- sakhī, and by the power of that nitya-sakhī's mercy they
attained sālokya-mukti. Thus they attained direct service to Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa.

5

debī-gaṇa sei bhābe sakhīra sālokya-lābhe kṛṣṇa-sebā kore sakhī ho'ye brajera bidhāna eho gopī binā āra keho nā pāibe braja-juba-dwaye

अर्थ

In this way many demigoddesses attained the world of the sakhīs, became sakhīs themselves, and directly served Lord Kṛṣṇa. Without the mercy of a gopī in Vraja no one can attain the youthful divine couple.
