rādhikā-caraṇa-renū bhūṣana kariyā tanū
anāyāse pābe giridhārī
rādhikā-caraṇāśraya ye kare se mahāśaya
tāṅre mūñi jāi balihāri
rādhikā-caraṇa-renū—the dust of the lotus feet of Śrī Rādhikā; bhūṣana kariyā—decorate; tanū—body; anāyāse—easily; pābe—will receive; giridhārī—the lifter of Govardhana Hill; rādhikā-caraṇāśraya—taking shelter of the lotus feet of Śrī Rādhikā; ye kare—one who does so; se mahāśaya—is a great person; tāre—to him; mūñi—I; jāi balihāri—glorify.
Decorate your body with the dust from the lotus feet of Śrī Rādhikā. Then, you will achieve the full grace of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the lifter of Govardhana Hill. One who takes shelter of the lotus feet of Rādhikā, I glorify him as a great person.
jaya jaya rādhā-nāma bṛndābana yāṅra dhāma
kṛṣṇa-sūkha-bilāsera nidhi
hena rādhā-guṇa-gāna nā śunila mora kāna
baṅcita karila more bidhi
jaya jaya—all glories; rādhā-nāma—the holy names of Rādhā; bṛndābana—Vṛndāvana; yāra—whose; dhāma—abode; kṛṣṇa-sūkha—pleasing Kṛṣṇa; bilāsera nidhi—the ocean of enjoyment; hena rādhā—such Rādhā; guṇa-gāna—glorifying Her qualities; nā śunila—did not hear; mora kāna—my ears; baṅcita—deceived; karila—did; more—to me; bidhi—the creator.
All glories to the holy names of Śrī Rādhā, who eternally resides in Vṛndāvana. She is the ocean of Kṛṣṇa’s happiness. I have been cheated by Providence because I have not heard about the glorification of Rādhā.
tāṅra bhakta-saṅga sadā rasa-līlā-prema-kathā
je kahe se pāya ghanaśyāma
īhāte bimūkha jei tāra kabhū siddhi nāi
nāhi jena śuni tāra nāma
tāṅra—Her; bhakta-sanga—associates with the devotees; sadā—always; rasa-līlā—nectarean pastimes; prema-kathā—the topics of love; je kahe—one who chants; se pāya—he receives; ghanaśyāma—the dark colored Śyāmasundara; īhāte—in this; bimūkha—against; jei—whoever; tāra—his; kabhū—never; siddhi—perfection; nāi—not; nāhi—not; jena śuni—may hear; tāra nāma—his name.
One who associates with the devotees of Śrī Rādhā and discusses the loving pastimes of Rādhā certainly meets Śyāmasundara. Anyone averse to this never attains perfection and I do not wish to even hear the name of such a person.

O brother, simply by chanting the names of Kṛṣṇa, one can receive the lotus feet of Rādhikā, and by chanting the names of Rādhikā, one can receive the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. Thus, I have briefly explained everything by which you will be relieved from the pains of your heart. All other topics are full of miseries and dualities.
