O Śrī Rādhe! You are Syāmā, a fresh young maiden with slender waist, endowed with the luster of new adolescence. You are fair-complexioned, ever youthful, and the perfect match for Your beloved. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! You are the relisher of rasa, full of rasa Yourself, a charming and handsome youth, proud of Your own qualities.
O Śrī Rādhe! You sport in the rāsa dance, You spread rasa everywhere, and You hold Your beloved close to Your heart. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! You delight in ever-new pastimes, You are the fresh youth standing in the threefold-bending pose, and Your dark limbs are exquisitely beautiful.
O Śrī Rādhe! You are dearer than life, radiant with beauty, and exceedingly tender. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! You enchant the mind of Cupid himself, You give great joy, and You are the most beautiful of all.
O Śrī Rādhe! You are beauty itself as You rest, You shine with Cupid's own charm, and Your voice is sweet like the cuckoo's. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! You are renowned for Your glories, You are the beloved of the young gopīs, and You are the Supreme Lord Himself.
O Śrī Rādhe! Your face is like the moon, Your teeth are like kunda jasmine buds, and You are the home of all beauty. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! You are supremely generous, Your radiance is boundless, and You are exceedingly tender and youthful.
O Śrī Rādhe! You walk with a swan's grace, You shine as the radiant beloved, and You lead the play of loving pastimes. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! Your beauty overflows with rasa, Your eyes are large and lovely, and You are supremely merciful.
O Śrī Rādhe! You are a golden creeper, overflowing with the rasa of divine love, and charming beyond compare. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! You are the ocean of all happiness, the storehouse of all good qualities, and resplendent with beauty.
O Śrī Rādhe! You are the most charming beloved, You surpass all others by every degree, and Your qualities are beyond the reach of the mind. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! You dwell in Your own holy abode, You spread Your radiance everywhere, and a sweet smile comes naturally to You.
O Śrī Rādhe! You are the pleasure potency (hlādinī-śakti) itself, Your words are most loving, and You fill the heart with the madness of love. O Śrī Kṛṣṇa! Every limb of Yours casts a spell, You are full of rasa and lovely to see, and You are graceful and beautifully formed.
O Śrī Rādhe! You bear the blessed name “Rādhā”, Your qualities delight everyone, and You are Hari's beloved, His queen. Hare Hare Hari, Hare Hare Hari, Hare Hare Hari, Śrī Kṛṣṇa!
