    This poem describes the divine qualities and loving pastimes of Srimati Radharani. It praises her beauty, which outshines gold and coral, and her tenderness which cools Lord Krishna's amorous desires. Though worshipped throughout the world, no one in any realm matches Radharani's youth, qualities, and pastimes. She expertly sings, dances and brings joy to Krishna's companions but anguish to his rivals. Her ecstatic love for Krishna is shown through symptoms like sweating and tears. Separation from him causes her immense distress, but she finds relief through messages reuniting them. The poem requests Radharani to offer the speaker shelter at her divine lotus

    I pray that Srimati Radharani offers me the shelter of her lotus feet. Her complexion defeats the pride of
    the colour of molten gold with the tinge of kumkum. She fulfills all the desires of Krsna.
    The colour of her silk sari makes the colour of coral feel ashamed and she is the flower garden where a
    wild bumblebee called Krsna plays. I pray to Srimati Radharani that she offers me the shelter of her lotus
    feet.
    Her tenderness defeats the tenderness of newly developed leaves and she is the personification of
    coolness - a combination of sandalwood paste, camphor, lotus and the moon. By her touch she cools
    down the amorous desires of Krsna. I pray to Srimati Radharani that she offers me the shelter of her lotus
    feet.
    Although Laxmi devi is worshiped by all young damsels throughout the world still she is nowhere near
    Srimati Radharani in beauty, youthfulness, nature and pastimes. Nowhere in the material or spiritual
    world is there anyone who is superior in quality to Srimati Radharani. I pray to Srimati Radharani that she
    offers me the shelter of her lotus feet.
    She is very expert in dancing, singing and other such activities. She is decorated with exquisite beauty,
    dress and wonderful qualities. She is the best of all swans. I pray to Srimati Radharani that she offers me
    the shelter of her lotus feet.
    With her every blossoming beauty, activites and feelings she creates joy in the hearts of the gopis who are
    on her side and she creates anguish and pain in those who are on the opposite side. I pray to Srimati
    Radharani that she offers me the shelter of her lotus feet.
    She is decorated with eight kinds of ecstatic symptoms: sweating, trembling, tears, choking of her voice,
    etc. She is also decorated with anger, joy and negative feelings. She dresses herself with beautiful
    ornaments in order to give pleasure to Krsna. I pray to Srimati Radharani that she offers me the shelter of
    her lotus feet.
    She cannot tolerate separation from Krsna, even for a fraction of a second. Her anguish is overcome by
    her friends who carry messages to unite her with Krsna. Thus her anguish turns into ecstasy. I pray to
    Srimati Radharani that she offers me the shelter of her lotus feet.
    Even persons like Parvati, the wife of Lord Siva, do not get to see Srimati Radharani. Srimati Radharani
    and her friends become quickly pleased by one who worships Srimati Radharani through these eight
    verses and very quickly she offers him devotional service to Krsna. I pray to Srimati Radharani that she
    offers me the shelter of her lotus feet.
