Rādhā is there within my vision. Rādhā is there within my speech. I interweave my every word. Oh! With the sweet name of Rādhā.
Rādhā is there in my necklace. Rādhā is there in my sārī. I have adorned my nose-ring. Oh! With the sweet name of Rādhā.
Rādhā is there in my walking. Rādhā is there in my gestures. My sash of waist-bells resounds. Oh! With the sweet name of Rādhā.
Rādhā is there on my right and on my left. Rādhā is there in front of me and behind. My every fiber reflects the rasa flowing. Oh! With the sweet name of Rādhā.
Rādhā is there on my each and every limb. Rādhā is there accompanying me always. Lord Gopāl plays His flute which calls out. Oh! With the sweet name of Rādhā.
About Maine Ratana Lagai Radha Nama Ki
A Braj-bhasha song in which the singer describes every part of her being — the parting of her hair, her nose-ring, her necklace, her gait, her very limbs — as adorned with and permeated by Radha's name, verse by verse threading the name through each ornament and gesture like a jewel, in the mood of intense Radha-nama absorption found in Braj traditions such as the Radhavallabh sampradaya.
