Transliteration
yā rādhā jagadudbhavasthitilayeṣvārādhyate vā janaiḥ śabdaṃ bodhayatīśavaktraṃvigalatpremāmṛtāsvādanam / rāseśī rasikeśvarī ramaṇatdṛnniṣṭhānijānandinī netrī sā paripātu māmavanataṃ rādheti ya kīrtyate
Translation
Radha, que les hommes vénèrent dans les mystères de la naissance, du maintien et de la dissolution du monde, fait saisir par la Parole le goût de l’ambroisie d’amour qui s’écoule de la bouche du Seigneur. Elle est Rāseśī, souveraine de la Rāsa, Rasikeśvarī, reine des âmes amoureuses, ferme dans le regard du Bien-Aimé et guide vers sa propre béatitude. Que cette Déesse, louée sous le nom de « Radha », protège moi qui me prosterne.
