Lilamrtakhya Nama Dasaka
He whose flute-sound, a flood of honey, maddens Radhika's heart; he whose mind is overwhelmed by the sheer weight of the fragrance rising from Radha.
He whose playful gestures become a hook to catch the fish of lovely Radha's mind; he who is captivated by the sweet, mingled ecstatic emotions (kilakincita) of Gandharva, blind with the pride of love.
He who is brought under control by Radha's feigned sulking, guided by clever Lalita's counsel; he who is helplessly addicted to the abundant, nectar-like sweetness of Radha's teasing words.
He the moonlight of whose moon-like face makes the ocean of Radhika's love surge; he who is the emerald gracing the necklace on Vrsabhanu's daughter's throat.
He who is the bee at the lotus face of blossoming Radhika, garlanded with jasmine; he on whose chest gleams the musk-leaf mark left by Radhika's breasts.
Whoever recites this Ten Names, so charming with the pastimes of the son of Gokula's king, attains the state of being dear to him.
About Lilamrtakhya Nama Dasaka
Rupa Goswami's "Ten Names, Called the Nectar of Pastimes" is a compact string of five two-line compound epithets for Krishna, each built entirely around some detail of his bond with Radha — her fragrance, her sulking words, even the musk-leaf design her breasts leave on his chest in embrace — rather than any of his more general attributes.
