Both Śrī Rādhā and Śrī Kṛṣṇa dwell permanently in my eyes, who are the moons of Vṛndāvana Dham. Śrī Rādhā’s complexion is fair while Śrī Krishn’s complexion is dark. Śrī Rādhā Krishn alone are the apple of my eyes, and my eyes never get contented and behold their spectacular beauty, day and night. I am bound by the strings of love of the divine couple, which is infrangible and impossible for me to get rid of, says Śrī Bhaṭṭa Devacharya.

Rādhā and Mādhava reign in Their radiant abode, each reflected upon the other's body so completely that dark appears fair and fair appears dark. Startled by Their exchanged images, They see the whole chamber glow with the crimson hue of love.

[Iktal, Raag Gauri] The divine couple Śrī Rādhā Krishn are relishing the nectar in the Nibhrit Nikunjas of Vṛndāvana. Seeing the flower garland worn on Śrī Priya [Rādhā] Ji’s neck, Śrī Śyāmasundara’s heart is splashed by waves of amorous loving desires, and He pleads for the garland worn on Śrī Radhika's neck. Śrī Śyāmasundara’s eyes standstill while gazing at the enchanting glimpses of Śrī Rādhā. Śrī Śyāmasundara, who is the crown of expert lovers, pleads Śrī Rādhā, with a nectar-sweet voice, says: “O, the most generous Swamini [Śrī Radhey], the fragrant garland worn on your neck is looking extremely beautiful. My fickle mind is so eager to wear it.” Sri Bhata Devacharya says, “Hearing such love-filled requests of Śrī Śyāmasundara, the heart of the supreme benefactor Śrī Priya Ji is moved”. Seeing Him very eager for the garland [as it is touched by Śrī Rādhā], She asks Him to take off the garland. Śrī Śyāmasundara further takes off the garland and wears it around His neck. Śrī Śyāmasundara is extremely delighted by wearing the garland which is touched by Śrī Rādhā. Seeing the rise of the mutual love of Śrī Radhe Krishn, the Sahcharis feel as if their life is successful.

The fair and dark beloveds gaze together into a hand mirror, cheek touching cheek and arm entwined with neck. Their moonlike faces hold Their eyes like chātaka birds; blue and yellow garments, crown, flute, and merged reflections make the two bodies appear as one composition of bliss.

In the eternal abode of Śrī Vṛndāvana, the beauty of this divine Couple, ever engaged in Their eternal love-plays ('nitya vihāra'), is so incomparable that even the beauty of all the fourteen worlds appears insignificant before Them. Within the sacred abode of Śrī Vṛndāvana dwells a supremely beautiful Couple, who are forever engaged in the plays of love at the charming grove near Vaṁśīvaṭa. One of them is Nanda-nandana Śrī Śyāmasundara, and the other is Vṛṣabhānu’s beloved daughter, Śrī Kiśorī Jī. The entire beauty of the fourteen worlds can be offered in sacrifice before the fair-complexioned Śrī Rādhā and the dark-hued Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Bhaṭṭa Devācārya says, “How far can I possibly describe Their glory? Even if I were blessed with countless millions of tongues, I could never fully describe the greatness of Śrī Vṛndāvana and the divine Couple.”

[Tital, Rag Kedaro] This unparalleled, Śrī Yugala Kiśora, is a mine of beauty from head to toe. The divine couple, Śrī Rādhā Mādhava, are naturally supremely beautiful and irresistibly enchanting to the hearts of rasikas. Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī says that the pair of Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava is truly magnificent, ever absorbed in the same nectar of love, engaged in uninterrupted nitya-vihāra. Their beauty from head to toe is like an ocean, which fills the lake-like hearts of the rasika-sakhīs with its sweetness. When they stand with arms entwined, the bangles on their hands and the earrings adorning their cheeks shimmer so gracefully, as though waves of beauty are gently rising. Beholding this complete splendor of Śrī Priyā-Priyatama, Śrī Bhaṭṭa Jī, in the mood of a sakhī, becomes immersed in bliss.

Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa, the divine couple, never separate, even for a moment. Just as the reflection of eyes in a mirror merges with the eyes of the beholder, Śrī Śyāmaa Shyam are inseparably united. O Sakhi! Śrī Rādhā’s body has merged into Śyāmasundara, and Śyāmasundara’s body has merged into Śrī Rādhā, making this fair-dark pair appear like a reflection in a mirror. It seems as if they have become one, never to be seen apart, even for a moment. Just as the reflection of the eyes in a mirror merges with the viewer’s eyes, so too have Śrī Priya-Priyatam become inseparably one. Seeing them as one soul in two bodies, each being a reflection of the other, Śrī Bhaṭṭa Devacharya Ji offers his body, mind, and wealth to them.
