(chorus) O Radha! O beloved of
Madhava! O You who are worshiped by all the young girls of Gokula! All glories
unto You! All glories unto You!
(1-3) 0 You who dress Yourself in such a way as to increase
Lord Damodara's love and attachment for You! O queen of Vrndavana, which is the
pleasure grove of Lord Hari! O new moon who has arisen from the ocean of King
Vrsabhanu! 0 friend of Lalita! O You who make Visakha loyal to You due to Your
wonderful qualities of friendliness, kindness, and faithfulness to Krsna! O You
who are filled with compassion! O You whose divine characteristics are
described by the great sages Sanaka and Sanatana! O Radha, please be merciful
to me!
