श्रीराधायाः प्रणयमहिमा कीदृशो वानयैवा-
स्वाद्यो येनाद्भुतमधुरिमा कीदृशो वा मदीयः ।
सौख्यञ्चास्या मदनुभवतः कीदृशं वेति लोभा-
त्तद्भावाढ्यः समजनि शचीगर्भसिन्धौ हरीन्दुः ॥
śrī-rādhāyāḥ praṇaya-mahimā kīdṛśo vānayaivā-
svādyo yenādbhuta-madhurimā kīdṛśo vā madīyaḥ |
saukhyañ cāsyā mad-anubhavataḥ kīdṛśaṁ veti lobhāt
tad-bhāvāḍhyaḥ samajani śacī-garbha-sindhau harīnduḥ ||
(Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī; cited in Caitanya-caritāmṛta: 1.1.6)
“The greatness of Śrī Rādhā’s uninhibited love
Is of what nature?
The astonishing sweetness of mine
Relishable by means of that [love] only by her
Is of what nature?
And her happiness as a result of [such] experience of me
Is of what nature?”
Out of intense desire [to resolve these mysteries],
The Moon Hari
Endowed with her bhāva,
Arose from the ocean of Śacī’s womb.”
