Radhe Pathi Munca Bhuri
O Radhe, on this path to the tryst, set aside your great haste; move forward gently on your lotus feet, O tender one.
Alas, why do you not restrain your constant chatter? The very brightness of your teeth is dispelling the deep darkness around you.
Spread a cloud-dark veil over yourself, down to the end of your incomparable mass of hair; the darkness that is your very life is being dispelled by the glow of your fingernails.
She, who forever holds his heart, walks on today free of fear; fully accept the lap of him who dwells in the charming bower.
About Radhe Pathi Munca Bhuri
From Rupa Gosvami's stavamala tradition, this verse dramatizes the classic abhisarika-nayika scene: a sakhi urging Radha to hurry along a night path to her tryst with Krsna, yet warning her that the very brightness of her smile threatens to give away her hiding place in the dark. It closes with encouragement for Radha to set aside all fear and give herself over completely to the waiting kunja.
