Having fallen into a helpless condition due to being bound with the rope of pratiß†hå by the
plunderers headed by lust and anger, I implore those heroic personalities (headed by Çrî Svarüpa,
Çrî Rüpa, and Çrî Sanåtana) who protect the path of bhakti by which one attains the destroyer of
sin, Çrî Hari, to protect me by cutting that rope and vanquishing those plunderers.

As I burn in the forest fire of old age, the wicked serpent of blindness is devouring me, from all
directions the sharp arrows of my dependence on others are piercing me, and I am fully surrounded
by the lions headed by lust and anger. Hey Swåmin! Hey Çrî Hari! Be merciful and make me drink
the liquid nectar of Your prema which will enable me to disregard these anxieties and perform res-
olute bhajana for You.

Vaiku√†ha is the eternal dhåma where Bhagavån is served by Çrî Lakßmî and unlimited other
eternal associates, but even more exalted than Vaiku√†ha is Çrî Hari’s supremely dear Dvårakåpurî
where He resides surrounded by His own relatives such as brothers and sons and where He perpetu-
ally sports with principal queens whose virtues, beauty, and good fortune mock those of even hun-
dreds of Lakßmîs. But due to being the place of His birth, Çrî Mathuråpurî, which is the very
embodiment of prema in the form of land and within which Çrî Vraja-ma√∂ala is magnificently
manifest, is even more dear to Him than Dvårakåpurî is—I eternally worship that Mathurå-dhåma.

the cows out to graze. The wonderful sweetness of this kingdom appears in the hearts of only a

where the entirety of mahå-siddhis exist eternally, where cows are served by everyone, where the
Vraja-våsîs happily reside, and where Çrî K®ß√a roams freely whilst enjoying His pastimes under the

Nanda Mahåråja and the most exalted location within his kingdom.

his son, he daily pleases the bråhma√as by respectfully donating them varieties of sweetmeats,
drinks, and celestial cows decorated with jewels. Being overwhelmed with love for his son, he
repeatedly beseeches those bråhmanas to offer blessings for K®ß√a’s well-being.

May the queen of Vraja, Çrî Yaçodå, whose breasts incessantly trickle milk due to her immense
love for her son, who is always prepared to give up her life millions of times to protect Him from
even a single drop of perspiration, and who upon not seeing Him for even one second becomes
apprehensive with various fears and cries like a cow frightened for her new-born calf, protect me.

leave Him alone in the forest for even the blink of an eye.

Assembling the cows in one place, with great delight K®ß√a’s cowherd boy friends play hand in

they possess as an offering at Çrî K®ß√a’s feet.

wonderful arrangements for the clever lovers, Çrî Rådhå-Mådhava, to meet. Nourishing the Divine
Couple’s blissful festivals of måna (jealous anger) and abhisåra (secret rendezvous), she time and

Solely out of great love for Çrî Çrî Rådhå-K®ß√a, who are more dear to her than life itself, Lalitå-
sakhî daily displays a mood of slight impudence as she first arranges the pastime of the Divine Cou-

Rådhå-K®ß√a, as she hurries Rådhikå along to Nanda-bhavana she pleases Her by continually

ness.

water, and arranging for Her rendezvous with K®ß√a. Because these maidservants can enter the area
where the Divine Couple enjoy Their most confidential pastimes without feeling shy, they are
even more dear to Rådhikå than sakhîs such as Lalitå, who themselves are more dear to Her than

Çrîdåma, and the other sakhås in festivals headed by herding and milking them, and who are won-

is, to look at Çrîmatî Rådhikå with restless sidelong glances, to pull His arms back to show Her His
broad chest, to gently smile at Her, to drink the nectar of Her lips, to kiss Her, and to firmly
embrace Her. With mind, body, and words I always worship Ujjvala Mahåråja Çrî K®ß√a, the king

Becoming a boatman and sitting rasavatî Çrîmatî Rådhikå down in His boat, Çrî K®ß√a steered
the boat into the middle of turbulent waters. When Rådhikå became fearful and prayed to Him for
protection, He collected from Her as a rescue-fee the fulfilment of His amorous desires. Månasa-
ga∫gå, the river where this pastime took place, always flows at Govardhana, who serves as a mid-
dleman for the youthful Divine Couple—what pious person would not take shelter of that Govard-
hana?

Not even for one moment will I reside in any other place than Vraja, even if a Deity of Çrî Hari is
installed in that place and even if I can lovingly relish bhakti-rasa in the company of the Vaiß√avas
who reside there. Birth after birth I will reside in the land of Vraja, even if I may be engaged in idle
conversation with the residents there.

Even if the immensely opulence king of the Yadus were to personally invite me to go see Him
there and even if I had been feeling separation from Him for millenniums, not for one moment
would I leave the incomparable place where Çrî Çrî Rådhå-K®ß√a have performed Their pastimes,
Çrî Vraja-bhümi, to go to that Çrî Dvårakå-purî.

But if I were to hear with my own ears that, overcome with the madness of divine love, Çrîmatî
Rådhikå has gone to Dvårakå and is together there with Çrî K®ß√a, then at that very moment I
would leave Çrî V®ndåvana and with a proud heart fly there even faster than Garu∂a.
