Glories, glories to Śrī Rādhārāṇī, the beloved of Mādhava and most worshipable of the cowherd girls of Gokula Maṇḍala!
Decorated by the dress of Lord Dāmodara's increasing ecstasy, You are the lady of the house of Lord Hari and the groves of Vṛndāvana.
From the ocean of Vṛṣabhānu has arisen a new moon which is overwhelming the qualities of Lalitā and Viśākhā.
O Goddess, Your qualities are described by Sanaka and Sanātana Ṛṣis and by Sanātana Gosvāmī. Please bestow Your mercy upon me.
