In the sacred lineage of Viṣṇu, there dwells a wondrous goddess, born from Viṣṇu’s own line. She resides not only in the divine family but also in the groves and forests, entering the stream of the Sun’s daughter, and abiding in her own experience. Manifest and present in all worlds, she is imperishable and unchanging, born from the Great Person. Her nature is gentle, as soft as the delicate śirīṣa blossom, yet radiant like a mirror polished by the waters of the Ganges. She dwells in the embrace of love, abiding at the very center of the circle of light, shining like an ocean of nectar and bestowing streams of ambrosia upon all. She is a treasury of inconceivable qualities; through the playful acts of Kṛṣṇa, she removes impurity from the hearts of devotees. She is devoted to worship, possessing the desire and courage of a lioness, renowned for her good fame and sweet fragrance. She is dear to the cowherds, herself a cowherd maiden, a cowherd woman, and the most excellent among the gopīs. She adorns the cowherds, is the ornament of Kṛṣṇa, and the moonlight that blesses holy Vṛndāvana. Known through the actions of Kṛṣṇa, she bewilders millions of Cupids with her charm. She is enchanting to Kṛṣṇa Candra and is regarded as the sister of the god Kṛṣṇa. Her presence brings well-being; she speaks sweetly, her eyebrows are magical, and she is supremely auspicious. Her glance is filled with compassion, her lips as red as the bimba fruit, her beauty likened to Rambhā, and her gait is graceful and elegant. Radiant as the splendor of Mount Meru, she is foremost in love, and moves with the slow grace of intoxication. She is absorbed in the rasa dance, in deep feeling, and pure thought, embodying the great rasa itself. As the foremost mother of desire, she grants the path to Vaikuṇṭha. She is Śrī Rāmā, of pure body, the very blossom of rasa. She is also known as the Gomati, the Chandrabhaga, the Sarayu, and the daughter of the Tamraparni. O Nārada, this is the thousand names of the two-formed one. Reciting these names removes great sins and reverses barrenness. They destroy sin, remove enemies, and bestow devotion to Rādhā and Mādhava. Salutations are offered to the eternal enjoyer, who dwells in the ocean of nectar that is Rādhā’s company. She is the creatrix of the dissolution of the world, sovereign of all, and mother of all. She bestows enjoyment and liberation alike—what more could one wish to hear? The great tantra teaching spoken by Kumāra has been related, revealing profound mysteries. What has been told here, O most compassionate one, prompts the sages to inquire further. Again, the sage asked Kumāra, the foremost of the wise, what more there was to know. Sanatkumāra, honored and saluted, was addressed by them. There, too, the great glory of Kṛṣṇa mantras was declared. The deeds of her partial incarnations, preceded by mantra, were recounted. Many tantras of the Power, spoken by Śiva, are present for the best of sages. Hearing the words of the great-souled Nārada, Kumāra replied: “Hear, O Nārada, I will tell you the origin of Rādhā’s portions. That Rādhā, of whom I have spoken, arose from half the body of Kṛṣṇa. She stands at the center of the radiant sphere, possessing both visible and invisible forms. From Kṛṣṇa’s left side, Nārāyaṇa himself was born. Then Kṛṣṇa gave Mahālakṣmī to Nārāyaṇa. O sage, then, from the opening of the cows of the Lord of Goloka—” Thus, the story flows, revealing the divine origins and glories of Rādhā, her inseparable connection to Kṛṣṇa, and the profound mysteries of her manifestations and blessings.
