TRANSLATION
By the mercy of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu,
even a foolish child can fully describe the real
nature of Lord Kṛṣṇa, the enjoyer of the pastimes
of Vraja, according to the vision of the revealed
scriptures.
CC Ādi 4.47: There is a great increase of mellow in
the unwedded conjugal mood. Such love is found
nowhere but in Vraja.
CC Ādi 4.48: This mood is unbounded in the damsels
of Vraja, but among them it finds its perfection in Śrī
Rādhā.
CC Ādi 4.49: Her pure, mature love surpasses that of
all others. Her love is the cause of Lord Kṛṣṇa's
tasting the sweetness of the conjugal relationship.
CC Ādi 4.50: Therefore Lord Gaurāńga, who is Śrī
Hari Himself, accepted the sentiments of Rādhā and
thus fulfilled His own desires.
govindānandinī rādhā, govinda-mohinī
govinda-sarvasva, sarva-kāntā-śiromaṇi
TRANSLATION
Rādhā is the one who gives pleasure to
Govinda, and She is also the
enchantress of Govinda. She is the be-all
and end-all of Govinda, and the crest
jewel of all His consorts.
