Caitanya Caritāmṛta Madhya 8.180-185
kṛṣṇake karāya śyāma rasa madhu pāna
nirantara pūrṇa kare kṛṣṇera sarva kāma 180
kṛṣṇera viśuddha prema ratnera ākara
anupama guṇagaṇa pūrṇa kalevara 181
kā kṛṣṣṇasya praṇaya jani bhūḥ śrīmatī rādhikaikā
kāsya preyasy anupama-guṇā rādhikaikā na cānyā
jaihmyaḿ keśe dṛśi taralatā niṣṭhuratvaḿ kuce 'syā
vāññchā-pūrtyai prabhavati hare rādhikaikā na cānyā 182
yāńra saubhāgya-guṇa vāñche satyabhāmā
yāńra ṭhāñi kalā-vilāsa śikhe vraja-rāmā 183

She makes Krișna drink the sweetness of the tastes of amorous love - karāya kṛṣṇake pāna madhu rasa śyāma
and unceasingly fully satisfy every erotic desire of Krișna. - nirantara kare pūrṇasarva kāma kṛṣṇera 180
She is the gem mine of pure love for Krișna. - ākara ratnera prema viśuddha kṛṣṇera
Her body is perfect and her qualities are beyond comparison. - kalevara pūrṇa guṇagaṇa anupama 181
Who is the origin of love for Krișna? - Only Shrimati Radhika. - kā jā jani-bhūḥ praṇaya kṛṣṇasya ekā śrīmatī rādhika
Who is most dear to him, having matchless qualities? - kā asya preyasy anupama-guṇā
only Radhika and none other. - ekā rādhika ca na na anyā
Her wavy hair, restless eyes and her firm breasts - keśe jaihmya dṛśi taralatā kuce niṣṭhuratvaḿ asyā
fulfill the manifested desires of Hari (Krișna). - pūrtyai vāññchā prabhavati hare.
Radhika is unique, being like no other. - ekā rādhika ca na anyā 182
Tīkā: This quotation is from the Govinda-līlāmṛta (11.122)
Whose auspicious qualities (it is Radha) are desired by Satyabhāmā (one of the principal queens of Krișna in Dwaraka) -yāńra saubhāgya-guṇa vāñche satyabhāmā
and from whom (from Radha) the Vrindavan goddesses of bliss learn the games according to the proper time of the day (astha kala lila) - yāńra ṭhāñi vraja-rāmā śikhe kalā-vilāsa 183
Whose qualities, beginning with beauty are desired by the Goddess of Bliss (the consort of Lord Narayan of the Vaikuntha region of the spiritual world) and Parvati (the consort of Śiva of the Kailasa region); - yāńra guṇa ādi saundarya vāññche lakṣmī-pārvatī
whose duty of chastity is desired by Arundhatī (wife of Vasiștha Muni, famous for her chastity). - yāńra dharma pati-vratā vāñche arundhatī 184
Whose transcendental qualities enunciated by Krișna - yāńra sadguṇa-gaṇane kṛṣṇa
cannot be attained absolutely. - nā pāya pāra
How then can it be possible for an insignificant being (like us) to count His qualities. - kemane jīva chāra gaṇibe guṇa tāńra 185
