Radha Stotram
AI-drafted translation — pending review
At home is Radha, in the forest is Radha; Radha stands behind and in front. Wherever Radha is present, it is Radha alone whom I worship.
On the tongue is Radha, in the ears is Radha, Radha is in the eyes and dwells in the heart; Radha pervades every limb -- it is Radha alone whom I worship.
Worship is Radha, japa is Radha, and Radhika is in every act of homage; in remembrance is Radha, in bowing the head is Radha -- it is Radha alone whom I worship.
In song is Radha, in every virtue is Radha, Radhika is in eating and in going about; at night is Radha, by day is Radha -- it is Radha alone whom I worship.
In sweetness Radha is the sweet one, in greatness Radhika is the great one, in beauty Radha is the beautiful one -- it is Radha alone whom I worship.
Radha is the ocean of nectarean rasa, Radha is the blossom of good fortune, Radha is foremost among the women of Vraja -- it is Radha alone whom I worship.
Radha, lotus-faced, is herself Padma; she is well worshiped by lotus-born Brahma; Radha is discerned within the lotus itself -- it is Radha alone whom I worship.
Radha is eternally of the very nature of Krsna, and Krsna is surely of the very nature of Radha; Radha is the Queen of Vrndavana -- it is Radha alone whom I worship.
At the tip of the tongue is Radhika's name, before the eyes is Radhika's form, in the ears is Radhika's glory, and in the mind is Radhika always.
This hymn was spoken by Krsna himself, entirely for the pleasure of Radhika; whoever recites it regularly with self-control attains the presence of Radha and Krsna.
Krsna's mind is won over by worship of Radha, and his mind is satisfied by her; Radha's mind, in turn, is drawn by Krsna -- such is the fruit for one who chants "Radha-Krsna."
About Radha Stotram
A widely chanted Sanskrit stotra credited here to Krsna Dvaipayana Vyasa, though versions of the same hymn also circulate attributed to the Narada-pancaratra. Ten of its eleven verses build entirely on one refrain, "radhaivaradhyate maya," it is Radha alone whom I worship, finding her in every object, sense, and moment of daily life. Its tenth verse then makes the striking claim that Krsna himself composed the hymn for Radha's pleasure, and promises reciters closeness to the divine couple.
