(1) (8) I worship Sri Radhika, Whose luster is of pure gold, like vermillion crushed on a golden slab, Whose adolescent beauty is surrounded by waves of sweetness, Who gets goosepimples of ecstasy when She is embraced by Hari's arms, and Who wears a bright crimson dress. (9) The moon of auspiciousness on the bank of the daughter of the sun (Yamuna), Sri Krishnacandra, will be satisfied with whoever nicely recites this best of prayers, Radhastakam, that is a spotless reservoir of erotic sweetness, and He will fulfill all the reciter's desires.
