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

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!

are the colorful stage
of the play of love.

Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

bewildered by strange and dazzling scenes
at each new moment!

Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

Her delightful sulking mood
is Her bejeweled adornment;
Dyed in Her Darling's dedication,

of all love's novelties.
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

of loving gestures is the diamond ornament

glows with a silent bliss
as an ocean full of mirth!
Oh! When will She shower upon me
Her sidelong glance
of overflowing Grace!

with clusters of flowers
flowing towards Her heels!

perfection and liberation are attained
within the light of Her baby toenail!

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 !!
