Vrsabhanu Suta Carana Sevane
Siddhi Lalasa Song 9
vṛṣabhānu-sutā- caraṇa-sevane, hoibo
ye pālya-dāsī śrī-rādhāra
sukha, satata sādhane, rohibo
āmi prayāsī
For serving the lotus feet of the charming daughter of King Vrsabhanu, I will become a sheltered maidservant of Her maidservant. Indeed, I will live only for the happiness of Sri Radha, and I will always endeavor to increase Her joy.
śrī-rādhāra
sukhe, kṛṣṇaera ye sukha, jānibo
manete āmi rādhā-pada
chāḍi', śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅgame, kabhu
nā hoibo kāmī
I will understand within my heart that Krsna feels happiness only when Radha is happy. I will thus never, ever dare become desirous of abandoning Radhika's lotus feet to be with Krsna myself.
sakhī-gaṇa
mama, parama-suhṛt, yugala-premera
guru tad-anugā
ho'ye, sevibo rādhāra, caraṇa-kalapa-taru
All my associate sakhis are my supreme well-wishers, my best friends, and they are the teachers of my lessons in conjugal love. Simply by following them, I will serve the lotus feet of Radha, which are just like desire-fulfilling trees.
rādhā-pakṣa
chāḍi', ye-jana se-jana, ye
bhāve se bhāve thāke āmi
to' rādhikā- pakṣa-pātī sadā, kabhu
nāhi heri tā'ke
I am forever partial and prone to favoring the party of Sri Radhika. I will never even look upon those persons who have abandoned Her entourage, whoever they may be and regardless of what they preach.
