Dhani Dhani Radhika ke Charan The lotusfeet of Sri Radhika are my only treasure (from Sri Radha-rasa-sudha-nidhi) alam
visaya varta ya naraka koti bibhatsaya May my mind always
float in the ocean of divine nectar emanating from the lotus feet of Srimati
Radharani. No more fear of millions of hells. Studying of the scriptures
has become simply troublesome. Merging into the brahman effulgence is
terrible. The ecstatic symptoms of devotion to the Lord that are felt
by the great devotees like Suka have lost their charms. upasya
caranambuje vraja bhrtam kisori ganaih O Radha! You are my
sole Ruler and only shelter. Countless gopis of Vraja swarm around Your
lotus feet and worship them wholeheartedly. Your lotus feet are an inexhaustible
fountainhead of the quintessence of universal love and are inconceivable
to great saints. That is perhaps the reason why great devotees are striving
with ever increasing courage and hope to catch the sweetness and beauty
of the grace that flows from Your lotus feet. O Queen! Will You be pleased
to show me the particular manner in which I should serve Your lotus feet?

api ca hari namani grnatah Lotus chanting of
the holy name of Lord Hari with love attracts my mind towards Sri Radha's
feet. This attraction becomes very strong as soon as the delicious ingredient
of Sri Radha's service is added to the chanting. Meditation on blissful
Krsna as He roams about in Vrndavana has put me under the shade of the
tender feet of kind Sri Radha. kamam

Sri Radhika's lotus feet which I yearn to worship with love and devotion.
These lotus feet of Srimati Radhika are painted by Krsna's soft fingers
with a feather dipped in the most fragrant red-colored juice. The gopis
follow Krsna's example and worship the same feet for the happiness of
all living entities. These feet are glorified in the Upanisads, and are
found in the depth of the hearts of pure devotees. vrndavanesari

When shall I be blessed with such devotion, getting such treatment from Krsna as my reward for devotion to Radha's lotus feet? sat
