There is of gentle mien a wishing vine, Dispensing bounty, grace and love divine; Of sweet ambrosia the endless store, Like ocean fathomed not and without shore. O my good soul, for refuge hasten there, To her who doth the name of Radha bear. 28

Sri Radha Rasa Sudhanidhi 29
sri-raadhikaam nija-vitena sahaalapantim sonaadhara prasrmara-cchavi manjarikaam/ sindura samvalita mauktika pankti sobhaam yo bhaavayed-dasana kundavati sa dhanyah//
Whoever perceives in meditation The sweet and amorous conversation 'Twixt Sri Radhika and her lover dear, A nectar stream of eloquence will hear; To see her lips with lustrous crimson sheen, With budding smiles that beautifully gleam; Her jasmine bud like teeth all stained with red, Like rows of pearls with vermilion spread; Whom her of the fine teeth doth contemplate, He is most highly bless'd and fortunate. 29

The golden dawn-like radiance I bear Within my mind of Sri Radha the fair; Who shines with abundance of dazzling light, Like coruscation of the lightning bright; Whose person is with sweet beauty endued, Fraught with pride, passion and beatitude. To Vraja's pious king and queen revered, She is as much as Govinda endeared. 30

O Goddess of the bower-house divine, In Vrndavan, when will this maid of thine With peacock plumes and goonja beads prepare A crown for your beloved one to wear; And will I then present respectfully, O Radhike, that fair crown unto thee? 31

Sri Radha Rasa Sudhanidhi 32-33
sanketa-kunjamanu-pallavamaastaritum tattat-prasaadamabhitah khalu samvaritum/ tvaam syaamacandram-abhisaarayittm dhrtaase sri-raadhika mayi vidhehi krpaakataaksam// 32
I shall the trysting bower decorate To gain your favour and propitiate, With tender shoots and flowers overspread, I shall prepare the amorous play bed; Then guide you to the assignation place, To meet with Syama of the moon bright face. O Sri Radhike, as along we go, Will you your side glance of mercy bestow? 32
duraadapaasya svajaansukhamarthakotim sarvesu saadhanavaresu ciram niraasah/ varsantemeva sahajaabhuta saukhyadhaaraam sri raadhikaa carana-renumaham smaraammi// 33
Abandoning afar all that depends On joy derived from family and friends; And wealth and gain in millions multiplied; Having forsaken all fond hopes beside, The excellent disciplines to maintain, And long despair perfection to attain. But dust from Sri Radhika's refined, I shall fondly contemplate in my mind, Whence showers of inherent nectar flows, And wondrous joy and happiness bestows. 33

vrndatavi prakata manmatha-koti-murteh kasyaapi gokula-kisora-nisaakarasya/ sarvasvasamputamiva stana saata-kumbha kumbhadvaya smaramano vrsabhaanuputryaah 34
The adolescent moon of Gokul bright, Who doth a million Cupids' beauty slight, In Vrindavan his glory manifests. His fondest treasures are the golden breasts, Like golden love vessels beyond compare, Of Vrishabhanu Raja's daughter fair. In deep contemplation pure and refined, Those breasts recall to memory, O mind. 34

Like swelling lotuses that rise above The lake of intense passion, joy and love; Or else that bloom under the radiance Of her fair moon-like shining countenance; In meditation in my mind I bear The breasts of Vrishabhanu's daughter fair, The vessels of self ecstasy replete, Filled with nectar and ambrosia sweet. 35

Sri Radha Rasa Sudhanidhi, 36-39
Hail to those golden lotus buds that shine Upon the lake of love’s essence divine; Hail to those mellowed fruits of ecstasy, That grow on sublime rapture’s wishing tree; By which into bewilderment is hurled, The one who himself bewilders the world. Sri Radhike, in whom all beauty rests, All hail to the orbs of thy youthful breasts. 36
I shall make your breasts and your cheeks to shine, With bright unguents drawn in fair design; I shall your soft hair gather up and bind, With fragrant wreathes of jessamine entwined; Your limbs I shall deck with fine ornaments, And gem-studded shining embellishments; And then you will, divine Sri Radhike, Your side-long glance of grace to me convey. 37
"O Handsome-Shyama! O Dark-Enchanter! O More-than-a-million-young-Cupids fair! O Amorous-hero! to you I pray!" Thus with tears and choked voice throughout the day, She calls her lovers' names repeatedly, When will that Radhika be pleased with me? 38
When shall I serve Radhika with delight? Who doth with darts of side-long glances smite The son of Vraja's king, who swoons away, Whose yellow garment falls in disarray, And loosened slips his peacock feather crown, And from his hand the bamboo flute drops down. 39

From birth to birth may I gain service rare And attend Vrishabhanu's daughter fair!

Whose form is of constant passion complete, The distilled quintessence of humours sweet; Who radiates a supreme lustrous light, Like coruscation of the lightning bright; Who represents the mystery sublime, Of love amorous for the Lord divine; And who has, prompted by compassion, come, To dwell in noble Vrishabhanu's home; It is my fond ambition and desire, That her maid servanthood I may acquire. 41

Sri Radha Rasa Sudha Nidhi 47/48
Even when on her lovers' lap seated, She raises her sweet plaint, disquieted, "O Mohan, my dear and enchanting one, O wither, my beloved have you gone? Blinded by her intense passion for him, She is distraught and trembles in each limb; Hail to the gem of Shyama damosels, Who on the confines of the bower dwells. 47
Within the confines of the bower grove, In the grand celebration of your love, Where you exchange discourse in pleasant word, Which can with tinkling ornament be heard; Sri Radhe, as your servant intimate, Will I be stationed at the bower gate, And attentive to the soft pleasing sound, Will I in pools of ecstasy be drowned! 48

Sri Rasa Sudha Nidhi. 49-51
While plucking on the veena's warbling string, She doth in a transport of passion sing, The love-sport of her amorous hero, Which in a stream of dulcet tones doth flow; And thus the day in sad longing she spends, And his rare qualities in song commends, As tears of pathos roll down from her eyes. Alas, may Radha in my heart arise! 49
Who relish mutual laughter and joy, And diverse humours of great love enjoy, In Vrindavan, a certain loving pair, Enact their sports which banishes all care; That clever couple, accomplished in art, Have captivated and stolen my heart. 50
The glances shot from corners of her eyes, Cause the great sea of fresh humours to rise; And swelling with nectar in forceful waves, The universe in loves' sweet relish laves; A dame of novel amorous delight; As fair as garlands of the lightning bright; Hail to the crowning ornament that shines, As foremost of delightsome heroines. 51

Sri Rasa Sudha Nidhi. 52/53
Hail to some fresh adolescent beauty, The essence of humours from loves' vast sea; Whose pure love deep affection doth impart, That slackens inhibitions of her heart; Of boundless grace and a radiant gleam, And an exquisite soft and pearly sheen; In ancient holy scriptures' page not shown, But she is by the name of Radha known. 52
As I beside my divine Mistress stand, Will she bestow on me with her own hand, A silken bodice myself to adorn, Which whilom she herself indeed had worn? And as I her fond affection receive, Will I myself as a damsel conceive? 53
