Suno Radhe Ei Rasa
Listen, Radha, to this: I am completely yours; apart from you, nothing else occurs to my mind. Even while chanting your name my heart has no patience left, and I can only meditate on your form.
Wherever I hear anyone's mouth utter 'Sri Radhe, Sri Radhe,' my mind rushes in that direction — just as the cataka bird cries out longing for the raincloud, so do I long to see that moon-like face.
The flute stays in my hand, calling out 'Radha' again and again as long as I cannot see you; only when I hear with my own ears the sound of your anklets does my heart find peace.
Of the two names Radha and Krsna, you come first; in you alone I place my trust. Then indeed shall I be fulfilled, and shall touch your feet — this is the hope of servant Vrndavana.
About Suno Radhe Ei Rasa
Composed by Vrndavana Dasa Thakura, this pada is voiced by Krsna Himself, pining for Radha as intensely as the cataka bird cries for a raincloud, rushing toward any voice that utters her name. It closes on the standard Gaudiya point that Radha's name is always spoken before Krsna's, since approaching Krsna through her mercy is the only sure path, ending with the poet's own signature plea to touch her feet.
