TEXT 1
ayi nanda-tanuja kiṅkaraṁ
patitaṁ māṁ viṣame bhavāmbudhau
kṛpayā tava pāda-paṅkaja-
sthita-dhūlī-sadṛśaṁ vicintaya

O Nanda-nandana! I am Your eternal servant. Due to my own actions, I have fallen into the dangerous ocean of worldly existence. Please consider me to be a speck of dust situated at Your lotus feet. (Śikṣāṣṭaka 5)

(Śrīla Kṛṣṇa Dāsa Kavirāja)
tava nitya-dāsa muñi tomā pāsariyā
paḍiyāchi bhavārṇave māyā-baddha hañā
kṛpā kari kara more pada-dhūli sama
tomāra sevaka karoṅ tomāra sevana

I am Your eternal servant, but forgetting this, I have fallen into the ocean of material existence and been bound by māyā. Be merciful and make me a speck of dust at Your feet. As Your servant allow me to serve You. (Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Antya-līlā 20.33-34)

TEXT 2

By engaging in offenceless nāma-kīrtana, by the mercy of Kṛṣṇa, bhāva eventually arises, as mentioned in the Bhāgavata:

śṛṇvatāṁ sva-kathāḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puṇya-śravaṇa-kīrtanaḥ
hṛdy antaḥstho hy abhadrāṇi vidhunoti suhṛt-satām
naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā
bhagavaty uttama-śloke bhaktir bhavati naiṣṭhikī
tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye
ceta etair anāviddhaṁ sthitaṁ sattve prasīdati

Through hearing and chanting, Kṛṣṇa, the dearest friend of those devotees who hear narrations about Him, enters their hearts and removes that which is inauspicious. By constant service to Bhagavān, the Bhāgavatam and the devotee, all that is inauspicious is almost fully destroyed and devotion to the Lord, who is praised by choice prayers, is firmly established. Thus, the mind is no longer affected by lust, greed, anger etc that stem form passion and ignorance. It becomes fixed in the mode of goodness and is fully satisfied. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.2.17-19)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
yāṅra kathā śravaṇa-kīrtane puṇya haya
sei kṛṣṇa hṛdaye basiyā nāśe bhaya
sādhakera abhadra kramaśaḥ kare nāśa
bhaktira naiṣṭhika bhāva karena prakāśa
rajas-tama-samudbhūta kāma-lobha-hīna
hañā bhakta citta sattve haya ta pravīṇa

Kṛṣṇa, who resides in the heart, dispels the fear of those who hear or chant His topics. He eventually eradicates that which is inauspicious within the sādhaka, and through firm bhakti, bhāva manifests. Enriched by the mode of goodness, the devotee’s mind becomes devoid of lust and greed which stem from the modes of passion and ignorance.

TEXT 3

One prays for mercy, as is found in the Tenth Canto:

tat te’nukampāṁ su-samīkṣamāṇo bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam
hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk

One who eagerly awaits Your mercy and endures the reactions of his own previous activities, offering respects unto you with his mind, body and words, certainly becomes a recipient of the plane of deliverance. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.14.8)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
duḥkha bhoga kari nija-kṛta karma-phale
kāya-mano-vākye tava caraṇa-kamale
bhakti kari kāṭe kāla tava kṛpā āśe
mukti-pada tava pada pāya anāyāse

Experiencing misery due to the results of my karma, I offer my body, mind, and words at Your lotus feet. Passing the time engaged in bhakti, relying upon Your grace, one will effortlessly attain the path of liberation, reaching Your feet.

TEXT 4

In this way, such a state is achieved, as mentioned in the Bhāgavata:

ity acyutāṅghriṁ bhajato’nuvṛttyā bhaktir viraktir bhagavat-prabodhaḥ
bhavanti vai bhāgavatasya rājaṁs tataḥ parāṁ śāntim upaiti sākṣāt

Thus, one who constantly worships the feet of Acyuta certainly attains bhakti, detachment and realisation of Bhagavān, O king, he directly achieves supreme tranquillity. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 11.2.43)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
hena anuvṛtti saha yei kṛṣṇa bhaje
subhakti virāga jñāna tāhāra upaje
se tina sundara-rūpe ekatre bāḍiyā
parā-śānti prema-dhana deya ta āniyā

By worshiping Kṛṣṇa properly, then pure bhakti, renunciation and knowledge arise. When these three wonderful things simultaneously increase, one is awarded with supreme peace and the wealth of prema.

TEXT 5

Within this, there are nine types of bhakti-sādhana as described in the Bhāgavata:

śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam
arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ sakhyam ātma-nivedanam
iti puṁsārpitā viṣṇau bhaktiś cen nava-lakṣaṇā
kriyeta bhagavaty addhā tan manye’dhītam uttamam

Hearing, chanting, remembering Viṣṇu, serving His feet, worshipping the Deity, offering prayers, servitude to Him, friendship with Him and surrendering one’s very self to Him – if any person engages in these nine activities with bhakti for Bhagavān, if they offer this directly to Viṣṇu, I consider them to be of superior intelligence. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 7.5.23-24)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
śravaṇa kīrtana ādi bhaktira prakāra
cid-ghana ānanda kṛṣṇe sākṣāt yāṅhāra
sarva-śāstra-tattva bujhi kriyā-para tini
sarvārtha-siddhite tiṅho vijña śiromaṇi

There are different types of bhakti such as hearing, chanting etc. which are meant for Kṛṣṇa, who is condensed spiritual bliss itself. One who directly engages in these has understood all the śāstras. All desires are fulfilled for such a crest-jewel amongst scholars.

TEXT 6

When bhāva approaches, dāsya-rati (attachment in servitude) naturally arises, as stated in the Bhāgavata:

ahaṁ hare tava pādaika-mūla-dāsānudāso bhavitāsmi bhūyaḥ
manaḥ smaretāsu-pater guṇāṁs te gṛṇīta vāk karma karotu kāyaḥ

O Hari! I shall become the servant of Your servants whose sole refuge is Your feet. May my mind remember the Lord of my life, my words glorify Your qualities, and my body act for you. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 6.11.24)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
chinu tava nitya-dāsa, gale bāṅdhi māyā-pāśa
saṁsāre pāinu nānā-kleśa
ebe punaḥ kari āśa, hañā tava dāsera dāsa
bhaji pāi tava bhakti-leśa
prāṇeśvara tava guṇa, smaruk mana punaḥ punaḥ
tava nāma jihvā karuk gāna
kara-dvaya tava karma, kariyā labhuk śarma
tava pade saṅpinu parāṇa

I am Your eternal servant, but the noose of māyā is tied around my neck, and thus I suffer various tribulations in the material world. Now again I have some hope to become the servant of Your servant, and by worshipping You, I may achieve a little bhakti. O Lord of my life, again and again, may my mind remember Your qualities. May my tongue sing Your Name. May my two hands engage in work for You. Achieving auspiciousness, I offer my life at Your feet.

TEXT 7

Essentially, the jīva is bhogya-tattva (that principle which is to be enjoyed) and Kṛṣṇa is the enjoyer. Thus, by constant bhajana, the hope of attaining śrī-rādhā-kaikarya (servitude to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī) becomes stronger. Then one’s gopī-bhāva arises as mentioned in the Bhāgavata:

tan naḥ prasīda vṛjinārdana te’ṅghri-mūlaṁ
prāptā visṛjya vasatīs tvad-upāsanāśāḥ
tvat-sundara-smita-nirīkṣaṇa-tīvra-kāma-
taptātmanāṁ puruṣa-bhūṣaṇa dehi dāsyam

Thus, O remover of misery, be merciful unto us. Rejecting our homes, we have come here with the hope of serving the soles of Your feet. Our hearts are ablaze with intense desire due to Your beautiful smile and glances. Grant us Your service, O jewel amongst men. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.29.38)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
tava dāsya āśe chāḍiyāchi ghara dvāra
dayā kari deha kṛṣṇa caraṇa tomāra
tava hāsya-mukha-nirīkṣaṇa kāmi-jane
tomāra kaiṅkarya deha praphulla vadane

With the hope of achieving service to You, I have rejected my home. O Kṛṣṇa, kindly grant me the shelter of Your feet. I only desire to look upon Your smiling face. With that pleasing countenance, kindly award me Your servitorship.

TEXT 8

Taking refuge in that charming gopī-bhāva is described in the Bhāgavata:

vīkṣyālaka-vṛta-mukhaṁ tava kuṇḍala-śrī-
gaṇḍa-sthalādhara-sudhaṁ hasitāvalokam
dattābhayaṁ ca bhuja-daṇḍa-yugaṁ vilokya
vakṣaḥ śriyaika-ramaṇaṁ ca bhavāma dāsyaḥ

Looking at Your face encircled by Your hair, Your cheeks embellished by earrings, Your ambrosial lips, Your smiling glance, seeing Your two strong arms which award fearlessness, as well as Your chest which is the object of pleasure for Goddess Śrī, we must become Your servants. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.29.39)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
o mukha alakāvṛta o kuṇḍala śobhā
adhara amṛta gaṇḍa smita mano-lobhā
abhayada bhuja-yuga śrī-sevita vakṣa
dekhiyā halām dāsī sevā-kārye dakṣa

Seeing the hair surrounding Your face, Your attractive earrings, Your nectarean lips and charming smile, both Your arms which grant courage, and Your chest where Lakṣmī serves, we became Your maidservants, skilled in service.

TEXT 9

In this regard, pārakīya-bhāva is superior, as stated in the Bhāgavata:

kurvanti hi tvayi ratiṁ kuśalāḥ sva ātman
nitya-priye pati-sutādibhir ārti-daiḥ kim
tan naḥ prasīda parameśvara mā sma chindyā
āśāṁ bhṛtāṁ tvayi cirād aravinda-netra

Indeed, those who are expert cultivate attachment for You, who are one’s own Self and eternal beloved. What of husbands, sons and others who merely give trouble? Thus, be merciful to us, O Supreme Lord! Do not sever our hopes of attaining You which we have nurtured for so long, O Lotus-eyed One! (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 10.29.33)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
tumi priya ātmā nitya ratira bhājana
ārti-dātā pati-putre rati akāraṇa
baḍa āśā kari āinu tomāra caraṇe
kamala-nayana hera prasanna-vadane

You are my dearmost, my very self, the eternal object of my attachment. The attachment for husband and children only give unnecessary pain. With great hope I have come to Your feet. Please look upon me with Your sweet face, O lotus-eyed One.

TEXT 10

Shelter at the feet of Śrī Rādhā is necessary, as stated by Dāsa Gosvāmī:

anārādhya rādhā-padāmbhoja-reṇum
anāśritya vrndāṭavīṁ tat-padāṅkām
asambhāṣya tad-bhāva-gambhīra-cittān
kutaḥ śyāma-sindho rasāvagāhaḥ

Without worshiping the pollen of Rādhā’s lotus feet, without taking refuge in Vṛndāvana, which is marked by Her footprints, without talking to those whose hearts are immersed in intense bhāva for Her, how will one dive into the ocean of rasa for Śyāma? (Sva-saṅkalpa-prakāśa Stotram 1)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
rādhā-padāmbhoja-reṇu nāhi ārādhile
tāṅhāra padāṅka pūta vraja nā bhajile
nā sevile rādhikā gambhīra-bhāva-bhakta
śyāma-sindhu-rase kise habe anurakta

Having not worshiped the dust of Rādhā’s lotus feet, having not worshipped Vraja, which is consecrated with Her footprints, and having not served those devotees who have deep bhāva for Rādhikā, how can one develop attachment to the ocean of rasa for Śyāma?

TEXT 11

Identifying oneself as a maidservant of Rādhā is explained thus:

abhimānaṁ parityājya prākṛta-vapur-ādiṣu
śrī-kṛṣṇa-kṛpayā gopī-dehe vraje vasāmy aham
rādhikānucarī bhūtvā pārakīya-rase sadā
rādhā-kṛṣṇa-vilāseṣu paricaryāṁ karomy aham

Giving up my identity with this mundane body and everything connected with it, by the mercy of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, I now reside in Vraja as a gopī. I have become Rādhikā’s maidservant, and I constantly serve Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa as They sport in pārakīya-rasa.

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
sthūla-dehādite ātma-buddhi parihari
kṛṣṇa-kṛpāśraye nitya gopī-deha dhari
kabe āmi pārakīyā rase nirantara
rādhā-kṛṣṇa-sevā-sukha labhiba vistara

Having abandoned the concept of identifying myself with the gross and subtle bodies, I have accepted the body of a gopī by taking shelter of Kṛṣṇa’s mercy. When will I achieve the pleasure of always serving Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa in pārakīya-rasa?

TEXT 12
dūrād apāsya svajanān sukham artha-koṭiṁ
sarveṣu sādhana-vareṣu ciraṁ nirāśaḥ
varṣantam eva sahajādbhuta-saukhya-dhārāṁ
śrī-rādhikā-caraṇa-reṇum ahaṁ smarāmi

Happily leaving aside my own relatives, the happiness of unlimited wealth, all kinds of celebrated spiritual processes, and being forever free from other desires, I remember the dust of Śrī Rādhā’s feet, which rains down torrents of amazing, natural bliss. (Rādhā-rasa-sudhā-nidhi 33)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
svajana sambandha sukha catur-varga artha
sakala sādhana chāḍi jāniyā anartha
sahaja adbhuta saukhya dhārā-vṛṣṭi kari
rādhā-pada-reṇu bhaji śire sadā dhari

I have rejected any connection with my relatives and friends, the four goals of human life, and all other processes, understanding them to be unnecessary. I worship the dust of Rādhā’s feet, which showers torrents of wonderful, natural bliss, which I place upon my head.

TEXT 13
āśāsya dāsyaṁ vṛṣabhānu-kumāri-jāyās
tīre samadhyāsya ca bhānu-jāyāḥ
kadā nu vṛndāvana-kuñja-vīthiṣv
ahaṁ nu rādhe hy atithir bhaveyam

O Rādhā! When will I become a guest on the paths leading to the kuñjas of Vṛndāvana, sitting on the banks of the Yamunā, hoping to attain the service of the Daughter of Vṛṣabhānu? (Rādhā-rasa-sudhā-nidhi 198)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
vṛṣabhānu-kumārīra haiba kiṅkarī
kalinda-nandinī tīre rava vāsa kari
karuṇā kariyā rādhe e dāsīra prati
vṛndāṭavī kuñja pathe haiba atithi

I will become a maidservant of the Daughter of Vṛṣabhānu, residing on the shores of the Yamunā. Out of compassion for this servant, O Rādhā, please make me a guest on the footpaths of Vṛndāvana’s groves.

TEXT 14
dhyāyaṁs taṁ śikhi-piccha-maulim aniśaṁ tan nāma saṅkīrtayan
nityaṁ tac-caraṇāmbujaṁ paricaran tan-mantra-varyaṁ japan
śrī-rādhā-pada-dāsyam eva paramā-bhīṣṭaṁ hṛdā dhārayan
karhi syāṁ tad-anugraheṇa paramādbhutānurāgotsavaḥ

I constantly meditate upon He who wears a crown of peacock feathers, I engage in saṅkīrtana of His Name, I eternally worship His lotus feet, and I chant the greatest of His mantras – only to hold the highest aspiration of service to Śrī Rādhā’s feet within my heart. When, by His mercy, will I attain a festival of anurāga, divine attachment, to Her? (Rādhā-rasa-sudhā-nidhi 259)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
nirantara kṛṣṇa-dhyāna tan-nāma-kīrtana
kṛṣṇa-pāda-padma-sevā tan-mantra-japana
rādhā-pada-dāsya-mātra abhīṣṭa-cintana
kṛpāya labhiba rādhā-rāgānubhāvana

Constantly meditating on Kṛṣṇa, chanting His Names, serving Kṛṣṇa’s lotus feet and reciting His mantras – the only desire I contemplate is servitorship to the feet of Śrī Rādhā. May I attain His mercy to awaken loving attachment for Her.

TEXT 15
tasyā apāra-rasa-sāra-vilāsa-mūrter
ānanda-kanda-paramādbhuta-saumya-lakṣmyāḥ
brahmādi-durgama-gater vṛṣabhānu-jāyāḥ
kaiṅkaryam eva mama janmani janmani syāt

The Daughter of Vṛṣabhānu is the most astounding and gentle Lakṣmī of He who is the origin of bliss. She is the aim that is difficult even for Brahmā and others to achieve, the embodiment of sportive pastimes, and the essence of infinite rasa – may I attain Her service birth after birth. (Rādhā-rasa-sudhā-nidhi 40)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
apāra rasera sāra vilāsa mūrati
parama adbhuta saukhya ānanda nirvṛti
brahmādira sudurlabha vṛṣabhānu-kanyā
janme janme tāṅra dāsye hai yena dhanyā

She is the essence of unlimited rasa, the personification of divine pastimes, supremely astonishing, and the expression of happiness and bliss. The Daughter of Vṛṣabhānu is rare to achieve for Brahmā and others. Birth after birth, may I be blessed with service to Her.

TEXT 16
rādhā-nāma-sudhā-rasaṁ rasayituṁ jihvāstu me vihvalā
pādau tat-padakāṅkitāsu caratāṁ vṛndāṭavī-vīthiṣu
tat-karmaiva karaḥ karotu hṛdayaṁ tasyāḥ padaṁ dhyāyatāṁ
tad-bhāvotsavataḥ paraṁ bhavatu me tat-prāṇa-nāthe ratiḥ

May my tongue become overwhelmed, relishing the nectarean rasa of Rādhā’s Name. May my feet roam the paths of Vṛndāvana, which are marked by Her footprints. May my hands be engaged only in activities for Her, and may my heart meditate upon Her feet. Through Her bhāvotsava (festival of ecstasy), may I achieve love for the Lord of Her life. (Rādhā-rasa-sudhā-nidhi 142)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
jihvā hauka suvihvala rādhā-nāma-gāne
vṛndāraṇya cala pada rādhā anveṣaṇe
rādhā sevā kara kara rādhā smara mane
rādhā-bhāve māti bhaja rādhā-prāṇa-dhane

Let my tongue be overwhelmed in singing the Name of Rādhā, May my feet wander in Vṛndāvana in search of Rādhā. Serve Rādhā! Remember Rādhā in your mind! Intoxicated by rādhā-bhāva, worship the Treasure of Rādhā’s life!

TEXT 17
devi duḥkha-kula-sāgarodare

O Goddess! This most miserable person is tormented in the midst of an ocean of sorrow. Please place me on the powerful boat of Your mercy and take me to abode of Your lotus feet. (Vilāpa Kusumāñjali 8)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
duḥkha-sindhu mājhe devi durgata e jana
kṛpā pote pāda padme uṭhāo ekhana

This unfortunate person is in the middle of an ocean of distress, Now raise me up and take me in the boat of Your mercy to Your lotus feet, O Goddess.

TEXT 18

sakhyāya te mama namo’stu namo’stu nityaṁ
dāsyāsya te mama raso’stu raso’stu satyam

I pray for nothing from You at any time except for the esteemed service of Your lotus feet, O Goddess. I eternally offer my respects again and again to Your friendship, yet I pray that I may actually achieve the rasa of servitorship to You. (Vilāpa Kusumāñjali 16)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
tava pada dāsya vinā kichu nāhi māgi
tava sakhye namaskāra āchi dāsya lāgi

I desire nothing other than the service of Your feet. Offering respects to Your friendship, I exist only for Your service.

TEXT 19
hā devi kāku-bhara-gadgadayādya vācā

asya prasādam abudhasya janasya kṛtvā
gāndharvike nija-gaṇe gaṇanāṁ vidhehi

O Goddess! Stammering, with a choked voice full of lamentation, in distress I fall upon the ground like a stick and beg You – be merciful unto this foolish person! O Gāndhārvikā! Kindly count me amongst Your associates. (Gandharvā-samprārthanāṣṭaka 2)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
bhūme daṇḍavat paḍi bahu ārti-svare
kāku-bhare gadgada vacane yoḍa-kare
prārthanā kari go devi e abudha jane
tava gaṇe gaṇi kṛpā kara akiñcane

Falling upon the ground, with a voice choked with great sorrow, stuttering and faltering, I clasp my hands together and pray, “O Goddess! Be merciful and consider this foolish, destitute person to be a member of Your camp.  

TEXT 20
veṇuḥ karān nipatitaḥ skhalitaṁ śikhaṇḍaṁ

yasyāḥ kaṭākṣa-śara-ghāta-vimūrcchitasya
tāṁ rādhikāṁ paricarāmi kadā rasena

When will I attain a taste for serving Rādhikā, whose arrow-like sidelong glances strike the Son of the king of Vraja and make Him lose consciousness, causing His flute to slip from His hand, His peacock feather to fall, and His yellow cloth to loosen. (Rādhā-rasa- sudhā-nidhi 39)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
yāṅhāra kaṭākṣa-śare śrī-kṛṣṇa mūrcchita
kara haite vāṁśī khase śikhaṇḍa skhalita
pīta-vastra bhraṣṭa haya se rādhā caraṇa
kabe āmi rasa-yoge karibo sevana

When will I have a taste for serving the feet of Rādhā, whose arrow-glances make Śrī Kṛṣna faint – the flute falls from His hand, the peacock feather tumbles from His head, and His yellow garments slip off.

TEXT 21

An introduction to the conduct of one who has love for rādhā-dāsya (service to Śrī Rādhā) is given in the Bhāgavata:

tvayopayukta-srag-gandha-vāso’laṅkāra-carcitāḥ
ucchiṣṭa-bhojino dāsās tava māyāṁ jayemahi

By accepting the garlands, fragrances and garments that You have already enjoyed, the ornaments that have adorned You, and eating the remnants of Your food, we, Your servants, will certainly conquer Your māyā. (Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 11.6.46)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
tomāra prasāda-mālā gandha alaṅkāra
vastrādi pariyā dina yāya ta āmāra
tomāra ucchiṣṭa-bhojī dāsī paricaye
tava māyā jaya kari anāsakta haye

Each day I wear Your prasāda garlands, fragrance, ornaments, cloth etc. Eating Your remnants, I identify as Your maidservant and thus I will be victorious over Your illusory energy and attain attachment to You.

TEXT 22

The introduction to the afternoon pastimes:

śrī-rādhāṁ prāpta-gehāṁ nija-ramaṇa-kṛte klṛpta-nānopahārāṁ
susnātāṁ ramya-veśāṁ priya-mukha-kamalāloka-pūrṇa-pramodām
kṛṣṇaṁ caivāparāhṇe vrajam anucalitaṁ dhenu-vṛndair vayasyaiḥ
śrī-rādhāloka-tṛptaṁ pitṛ-mukha-militaṁ mātṛ-mṛṣṭaṁ smarāmi

 I remember Śrī Rādhā, who returns home and prepares various food preparations for Her beloved. She takes bath, dresses in beautiful clothes, and feels complete bliss upon seeing the lotus face of Her dearest. I remember Kṛṣṇa, who returns to Vraja in the afternoon, along with His friends and the herds of cows. Seeing Śrī Rādhā, He feels satisfied. He is met by His father and older relatives and is then bathed by His mother. (Govinda Līlāmṛta 19.1)

(Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura)
śrī-rādhikā gṛhe gelā, kṛṣṇa lāgi viracilā
nānā-vidha khādya upahāra
nāta ramya veśa dhari, priya-mukhekṣaṇa kari
pūrṇānanda pāila apāra
śrī-kṛṣṇāparāhna-kāle, dhenu mitra laṣā cale
pathe rādhā mukha nirakhiyā
nandādi milana kari, yaśodā mārjita hari
smara mana ānandita hañā

Śrī Rādhikā goes home and prepares various kinds of foodstuffs for Kṛṣṇa. After bathing, she adorns Herself in charming attire, and gazing at the face of Her beloved, She achieves boundless joy. In the afternoon, Śrī Kṛṣṇa sees Rādhā’s face as He walks on the road with His friends and the cows. Hari meets with Nanda and others, and Yaśodā bathes Him. Remembering this, my mind feels blissful.

iti śrī-bhajana-rahasya pañcama-yama-sādhanaṁ

Thus ends the Fifth Chapter of Śrī Bhajana Rahasya,
Sādhana During the Fifth Period
