O Radha-Krsna, Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa! Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa, my living force! O youthful couple, in life or death I have nothing more than You.

On the banks of the Yamunā in a grove of flowering kadamba trees, I will prepare a golden throne and seat You there.

I will string garlands of mālatī flowers and place them around Your Lordships' necks, and for Your lotus lips I will offer betel leaves scented with camphor.

By the side of Lalitā and Viśākhā I will stand, ready to fulfill any order of service at their lotus feet.
