SRI SRI RADHIKASTAKAM by Srila Rupa Goswami

1. I worship Sri Radhika, whose beautiful eyes flicker in all directions, like restless, playful wagtail birds, who is the malli-flower for the honeybee-heart of the son of the cowherd
king (Sri Krsna), and who is grave in all attributes.

2. I worship Sri Radhika, whose father Vrsabhanu Maharaj's fame spreads well throughout the world, and who plays along with Her friends with the son of the king of Vraja in Her own beautiful pond.

3. I worship Sri Radhika, whose smiling, submissive face is initiated in a vow to subdue the glories of the full autumn moon, who is the Lord of the lilies, and who can cause waves of erotic sweetness for Aghabhid (Krsna) with Her playful eyes that dance in an elevated way.

4. I worship Sri Radhika, whose hair braid, which is filled with various kinds of blooming flowers, looks like the extended tail of a peacock that is dizzy of amorous feelings, and whose
spotless cheeks are colored with the pan which comes from Madhuripu's (Sri Krsna's) mouth.

5. I worship Sri Radhika, who is sprinkled with pure intimate affection for Lalita and whose all-encompassing mood of friendship with Visakha is well known. She carries sweet jewels
of pleasure for Aghabhid (Sri Krsna) in the priceless shining jewelbox of Her love.

6. I worship Sri Radhika, who was crowned (with a ceremonial bathing) as the Queen of Vrndavana, who is the presiding goddess of the Kartik month, which is the best time of the year, who is the chief of all the innumerable dear ladies of Sri Mukunda, and whose fame destroys the sins of the world.

7. I worship Sri Radhika, who even looks upon the backs of the extreme borders of Hari's toenails as being more dear to Her than millions upon millions of hearts, who is the guru who initiates all the joyful, restless-eyed girls in the art of cleverness and whose glories are great.

8. I worship Sri Radhika, whose luster is of pure gold, likevermilion ground on a golden slab, whose teenage beauty is surrounded by waves of sweetness, who gets horripilations when
She is embraced by Hari's arms and who wears a bright crimson garment.

9. The moon of auspiciousness of the bank of th daughter of the sun (Yamuna), Sri Krsnacandra, will be satisfied with whoever nicely recites this best of prayers, that is a spotless vessel of loving sweetness and He will fulfill that person's desires.
