Krishna ,
And made him under your control by your great love,
And you have got
this name due to your love to Hari,
And you are
known by all by your surrender
to the form of Hari.

compassion .
which always takes one to salvation think about that form
of divine joy,

6.Oh RAdha , due to the
love towards Krishna , your body

And you just by your glance which is like
rain of love garland him,
Are looking
elsewhere and when I would I
be able to see you.

And staring

And when will you show
your holy feet to me.

8.At the tip of my toungue, the name of Radha is always therem
Before my eyes
the pretty form of Radha is
always there,
My ears are
always hearing the sweet praises of Radha,
And there is no
limit to the good qualities of Radha who
is Lakshmi.

9.If these octet of
verses about Radha,
Who is the darling
of Damodhara are always read,
They would
live in the Brindavan
,
And in the home of Lord Krishna as his friends.
