yasya sphūrti-lavāṅkureṇa laghunāpy antar munīnāṁ manaḥ
spṛṣṭaṁ mokṣa-sukhād virajyati jhaṭity āsvādyamānād api |
premṇas tasya mukunda sāhasitayā śaknotu kaḥ prārthane
bhūyāj janmani janmani pracayinī kintu spṛhāpy atra me ||
(Stava-mālā: Aṣṭādaśa-cchanda, Vastra-haraṇa, 2)

[No one.] Birth after birth, however, let me just have [ever-] increasing desire for that [i.e., that prema].”

The petals of his crimson, tender toes,
The filament cluster of the radiance of his toenails,
And the nectar of bhaktas’ śraddhā,
And reddened by the pollen
Of the ground kumkum from the buds of Śrī Rādhā’s breasts—
May the lotus of the feet of Pūtanā’s Foe protect us.”
