नायिकार शिरोमणि ब्रजे राधा ठाकुराणी पञ्चबिध सखीगण ताऽर सखी नित्यसखी आर प्राणसखी अतः पर प्रियासखी एइ होइलो चार

1-2) The transcendental Goddess, Srimati Radharani, has five different divisions of girlfriends in Vraja. She holds Her position as the crown jewel amongst all of these heroines. Their divisions are: 1) the sakhis, 2) the nitya-sakhis, 3) the prana-sakhis, 4) the priya-sakhis, and 5) the parama-presta-sakhis. This last division is undoubtedly the best of all, for they are the dearest to Sri Radha. Please listen carefully as I describe all of these dear girlfriends of Hers. Counted amongst the sakhis are gopis such as Kusumika, Vindhyavati and Dhanista who are very chaste in Vraja-dhama.

There are eight parama-presta-sakhis, whose only concern is to serve Radha-Krsna with every aspect of their existence, whole-heartedly and selflessly. They are Lalita, Visakha, Citra, Tunga-visya, Campaka-lata, Indu-lekha, Ranga-devi and Sudevi, who are the chastest of all the sahkis.
