Srimati Radharani’s Words to the Flute

Verse 255

O flute who is so dear to Krishna,
when you grant Me your mercy
I will also give you many benedictions
in return. I will bless you, saying,
“May you become faultless.
May your heart become filled
with the nectar from Krishna’s lips.
May you become very eloquent.
May you become charmingly slender.
May you become the object of
Lord’s Krishna’s worship.”

— Sri Govinda Mishra
