Yugala-bhajana-niṣṭhā · Steadfast Worship of the Divine Couple

O Lord, I do not perform the painful activity of talking about anything other than You, but instead I only talk and think about Your lotus feet. O Lord, I constantly and without deviation glorify Your transcendental attributes in the

I shall not perform any vows not related to You. I shall not give in charity except as a service to You. I shall not acquire knowledge except to serve You. I shall not worship the demigods. I shall not serve anyone except You. I shall blissfully wander about repeatedly calling out: O Kṛṣna! O Kṛṣṇa!" No one but You will stay in my mind.

During the life of this body and after its death, Sri Sri Radha-Kṛṣṇa will always remain my goal, and the two master's of my life's breath. I worship the Divine Couple and I swim and float in the nectarean ocean of love for Them. I pray that the description of Their forms, qualities, and pastimes may always remain within my heart.

Please give me the service of the lotus feet of the Divine Couple. Please give this charity to me. My mind is filled with love for the Divine Couple, whose youthful forms are like the beautiful forms of King Kamadeva and his queen

I place a straw between my teeth, and place the following appeal before the lotus feet of the Divine Couple; O Sri Sri Kiśora-Kiśorī, O Lord Syāmasundara, O price of Vraja, O beautiful girl named Sri Rādhikā, O daughter of Mahārāja Vṛṣabhānu,

O Srimatī Radharāṇī, as beautiful as a golden ketakī flower, O Lord Syamasundara, as splendid as a blue sapphire, O Lords whose transcendental glory crushes Kamadeva's pride into fine powder, O two crest-jewels of all expert dancers, please allow my mind to remain rapt in thinking of Your transcendental qualities.

O Lords whose limbs are decorated with many jewel ornaments, Narottama dāsa approaches Your lotus feet and says: My Lords, I wish that I may attain transcendental bliss by singing the glories of Your transcendental qualities both day and night. That is my mind's desire.
