vrajendra bhanu nandini vrajendra sunu sangate
kada karishyasiha mam krpa kataksha bhajanam
Adored by the host of sages,
she drives away the grief
of the three spheres!
Her face blooms like a lotus with joy
delighting in love's games
in secret groves.
She is the daughter of King vrishbhanu
and lives in the heart
of the son of the King of Vraj!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of over-flowing Grace!

She rests upon a flower throne
beneath a canopy of creepers
and boughs of Ashok trees.
The soles of Her lotus-soft feet
are lustrous-red as coral,
fire, and new sprouted leaves;
From Her springs forth
the favour of fearlessness
and all celestial treasure!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

Charming movements Her arched eyebrows
are the colorful stage
of the play of love.
Her sudden glance, just as
a shower of arrows,
produces astonishment!
And thus perpetually holds captive
the everlasting allegiance
of Sri Nandanandan!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

As lightning's radiant illumination, or gold,
or the blossoms of the Champa,
is the fairness of Her limbs.
The shining brilliance of Her face
defeats the glory
of a million full moons of Sharad!
And eyes are restless like young Chakors,
bewildered by strange and dazzling scenes
at each new moment!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

In exceedingly intoxicating youth,
Her delightful sulking mood
is Her bejeweled adornment;
Dyed in Her Darling's dedication,
She is fully skilled and expert
in all arts of love making;
In sanctified groves incomparable,
She is learned in the study
of all love's novelties.
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

The infinite and calm ocean of the sentiment
of loving gestures is the diamond ornament
She wears upon Her neck;
Her lovely breasts are golden spheres,
as the cranial globes of an elephant,
as well-formed as twin water urns;
Her slow enchanting smile
glows with a silent bliss
as an ocean full of mirth!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

Whose delicate arms, creeper-slim,
rhythmically wave and flow
like lotus stems;
Just as a dancing vine
at its height, Her bluish eyes
flash an enthralling glance;
Her alluring movements entice love meetings,
and fascinate Mohan Himself
to take refuge in Her charm!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

On Her neck, shaped lovely as a conch,
its beauty enhanced by three lines,
she wears a golden necklace.
Three lustrous diamonds sparkle and swing
from three chords tied round Her neck
as all fortune and auspiciousness.
Her luxuriant black tresses are artfully woven
with clusters of flowers
flowing towards Her heels!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

is circled with a wreath
of flowers of great excellence.
Her splendid diamond girdle bright

of the king of elephants!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

as the divine and timeless chanting
of countless Mantras!
And in their melody is heard
all the enchantment of a flock
of noble swans!

Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

of endless millions of heavens of Vishnu,

She is the bestower of boons!
All riches, supernatural powers,
perfection and liberation are attained
within the light of Her baby toenail!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

of Rama, Kshma, and Sri Sita!
Oh! Goddess Supreme of Vraj,
and of the King of Vraj!
Sri Radhika, I prostrate to Thee!

This wonderful and extremely cherished Stavraj in prayerful praise
to Beloved Sri Radha we translated into English with Sushri Radha Dasi
and two young Goswamis of Sri Radha Raman Lalji Mandir at Vrindavan
in the mid 1970's, by the wish of Baba Sripadji and which was printed
in a local magazine then and there.
All is the Grace of Shrijee and Shri Hari, for their perfect joy,
and therefore also is the joy of the bhaktas !!
