Shri Radhikashtakam Lyrics in English:

rasa valita mrgaksi mauli manikya laksmih
pramudita muravairi prema vapi marali
vraja vara vrsabhanoh punya girvana valli
snapayatu nija dasye radhika mam kada nu || 1 ||

sphurad aruna dukula dyotitodyan nitamba
sthalam abhi vara kasci lasyam ullasayanti
kuca kalasa vilasa sphita mukta sara srih
snapayatu nija dasye radhika mam kada nu || 2 ||

sarasija vara garbhakharva kantih samudyat
tarunima ghanasaraslista kaisora sidhuh
dara vikasita hasya syandi bimbadharagra
snapayatu nija dasye radhika mam kada nu || 3 ||

ati catulataram tam kananantar milantam
vraja nrpati kumaram viksya sańka kulaksi
madhura mrdu vacobhih samstuta netra bhańgya || 4 ||
snapayatu nija dasye radhika mam kada nu

vraja kula mahilanam prana bhutakhilanam
pasupa pati grhinyah krsna vat prema patram

prakatita nija vasam snigdha venu pranadair
druta gati harim arat prapya kusje smitaksi

pathati vimala ceta mista radhastakam yah
parihrta nikhilasa santatih katarah san
pasupa pati kumarah kamam amoditas tam
nija jana gana madhye radhikayas tanoti || 9 ||

iti sri raghunatha dasa gosvami viracitastavavalyam sri radhikastakam sampurnam ।

Shri Radhikashtakam Meaning:

1) When will Sri Radhika, who is a splendid ruby in the crown of all nectarean doe-eyed girls, a swan swimming in the lake of love for jubilant Lord Krsna, and a celestial vine sprouted from Vraja’s exalted King Vrsabhanu, bathe me in Her service?

2) When will Sri Radhika, who makes the sash of bells dance on Her hips splendid with red silk, and whose necklace of large pearls plays on the waterpots of Her breasts, bathe me in Her service?

3) When will Sri Radhika, who is as splendid as a great lotus whorl, who is new nectar mixed with the camphor of youth, and whose bimba fruit lips blossom with a gentle smile, bathe me in Her service?

4) When will Sri Radhika, who, accidentally meeting restless Krsna in the outskirts of the forest, stared at Him with suspicious eyes as He cast amorous glances at Her and flattered Her with many sweet and gentle words, bathe me in Her service?

5) When will Sri Radhika, who the girls of Vraja love as much as their own lives, who the gopa queen Yasoda loves as much as Lord Krsna, and who makes the heart of charming Lalita blossom with love, bathe me in Her service?

6) When will Sri Radhika, who in the company of Visakha at the forest’s edge strings a Vaijayanti garland from the flowers of many trees, and who is the beautiful beloved resting on Lord Krsna’s handsome chest, bathe me in Her service?

7) When will Sri Radhika, who smelling the fragrance of Lord Krsna and hearing the sweet sounds of His flute, ran to Him in the forest grove and, scratching Her ears, approached Him with smiling eyes and lowered face, bathe me in Her service?

8) When will Sri Radhika, who on a summer evening happily plays with Lord Krsna by Her own lake cooled by breezes touching the many splendid lotuses, bathe me in Herservice?

9) Pleased with any person who, abandoning all hope of material happiness and overwhelmed with love, reads this sweet Sri Radhastaka with a pure heart, the prince of Vrajaof His own accord places him among Sri Radha’s personal associates.
