Translation
May that Radha—worshiped by people in the mysteries of the world’s creation, sustenance, and dissolution, and who through sacred speech makes known the taste of love’s nectar flowing from the Lord’s mouth—protect me as I bow. She is the Lady of the Rasa-dance, the Sovereign of the lovers of divine relish, steadfast in the Beloved’s gaze, the guide into her own bliss, praised by the name “Radha.”
