  1. Verse 1

    parama caitanya hari tāṅra śakti baneśwarī parā śakti boli' bede gāya śaktimāne sebibāre śakti kāya-byūha kore nānā śakti tāhe bahirāya

    parama caitanya hari tanra sakti baneswari para sakti boli' bede gaya saktimane sebibare sakti kaya-byuha kore nana sakti tahe bahiraya

    परम चैतन्य हरि ताङ्र शक्ति बनेश्wअरी परा शक्ति बोलिऽ बेदे गाय शक्तिमाने सेबिबारे शक्ति कायब्यूह कोरे नाना शक्ति ताहे बहिराय

    Lord Hari is the Supreme form of consciousness, and His potency is the Mistress of the Vrndavana forest. All the Vedas sing about Her being the transcendental internal potency (para-sakti). To render service to Him Who is the potential source of all potencies, She expands Her internal potency into many bodily forms, with numerous different types of potencies flowing out and spouting from the energetic source in all directions simultaneously.

  2. Verse 2

    ādhāra-śaktite dhāma ahwaya-śaktite nāma sandhinī-śaktite bastu jata sambit-śaktite jñāna taṭasthā jība-bidhāna hlādinīte koilo sakhī-brata

    adhara-saktite dhama ahwaya-saktite nama sandhini-saktite bastu jata sambit-saktite jnana tatastha jiba-bidhana hladinite koilo sakhi-brata

    आधारशक्तिते धाम अह्wअयशक्तिते नाम सन्धिनीशक्तिते बस्तु जत सम्बित्शक्तिते ज्ञान तटस्था जीबबिधान ह्लादिनीते कोइलो सखीब्रत

    Her internal potency is the abode and container of all potencies, and it invokes the other divisions called sandhini, samvit, and hladini. With its sandhini existence potency it transforms to produce all things of substance within the spiritual and material worlds. With its samvit cognizant potency it produces all knowledge, which has a marginal sector called jiva-sakti, the multitude of conscious spirit souls. With its hladini pleasure potency, the assembly of Radha's girlfriends are produced and enlivened.

  3. Verse 3

    nitya-siddha sakhī saba hlādinīra su-baibhaba hlādinī-swarūpa mūla rādhā candrābalī ādi jata śrī-rādhāra anugata keho nāhe rādhā-premerabādha

    nitya-siddha sakhi saba hladinira su-baibhaba hladini-swarupa mula radha candrabali adi jata sri-radhara anugata keho nahe radha-premerabadha

    नित्यसिद्ध सखी सब ह्लादिनीर सुबैभब ह्लादिनीस्wअरूप मूल राधा चन्द्राबली आदि जत श्रीराधार अनुगत केहो नाहे राधाप्रेमेरबाध

    The topmost divine wealth of the hladini pleasure potency is the multitude of Her girlfriends, who are all eternally perfect in spiritual bliss. And the original root cause and primeval source of this hladini-sakti is none other than Srimati Radharani Herself, Who is the embodiment of this supreme pleasure potency. Even the other apparently opposing gopis, headed by Candravali are all actually subordinate followers of this transcendental Goddess Sri Radha, for the fact is that no one can possibly obstruct the gushing flow of Her pure selfless divine love for Lord Krsna.

  4. Verse 4

    premera bicitra gati prati-dwandwi ho'ye sati candra kore rādhā-prema puṣṭa saba sakhīra eka-mana nānā-kaye nānā-jana braja-juba-dwandwe kore tuṣṭa

    premera bicitra gati prati-dwandwi ho'ye sati candra kore radha-prema pusta saba sakhira eka-mana nana-kaye nana-jana braja-juba-dwandwe kore tusta

    प्रेमेर बिचित्र गति प्रतिद्wअन्द्wइ होऽये सति चन्द्र कोरे राधाप्रेम पुष्ट सब सखीर एकमन नानाकये नानाजन ब्रजजुबद्wअन्द्wए कोरे तुष्ट

    The wonderful, unique movement of Their loving affairs is such that Candravali appears to oppose and rival Radharani, but this simulated competition is actually chaste, for it is meant to nourish Radharani's pure love for Krsna. Indeed, all the sakhis possess many different bodies and many different moods, but their mind is factually one and one only, for their sole, mutual interest is to give complete satisfaction and total pleasure to the youthful Divine Couple of Vraja.
