(1) The divine couple, zrI zrI RAdhA and KRSNa, are my life and soul. In life or death I have no other refuge but Them.


(2) In a forest of small kadamba trees on the bank of the YamunA, I will seat the divine couple on a throne made of brilliant jewels.

(3) I will anoint Their dark and fair forms with sandalwood paste scented with cUyA, and I will fan Them with a cAmara whisk. Oh, when will I behold Their moonlike faces?

(4) After stringing together garlands of mAlatI flowers I will place them around Their necks, and I will offer tAmbUla scented with camphor to Their lotus mouths.

(5) With the permission of all the sakhIs, headed by LalitA and VizAkhA, I will serve the lotus feet of RAdhA and KRSNa.

(6) Narottama dAsa, the servant of the servant of zrI KRSNa Caitanya Prabhu, longs for this service to the divine couple.
