Radha-Govinda reciprocate with me.
You are equally potent,
although Govinda is called the Potent
and Radha is called the Potency.
There are innumerable statements
in the rasa sastras that Krishna
is called the Subduer
of Cupid, while Radharani
is called the Subduer of the
Subduer of Cupid.
All the gopis think of themselves
as the maidservants sweeping
in Krishna’s house.
And Krishna wants to serve
Queen Radha
in Her kingdom
as Her constable.
Krishna is Krishna.
Radha is Radha.
Pointed out in the rasa sastras—
Govinda wants to be the constable of Radharani,
but Radharani wants Him to share the throne with Her
and finally have Him hold Her in His lap.
I am grateful Radha-Govinda
reside with me in Viraha Bhavan.
