3.7 The manjaris' way of devotion

The manjaris pray to Radha:

O goddess of the month of Karttika,
I beg you with sweet words to give me
the best of benedictions:
by which Krishna, the killer of Baka,
knowing me to be yours,
will become more merciful to me. 168

And their prayer to Krishna:

O son of Maharaja Nanda! I fall at your feet and beg
with thousands of tearful prayers
that I may become the object of Radha's mercy,
for she is the crown diamond of all the beauties of Vraja. Please fulfill this desire. 169

The sentiment can thus be summarized:
"My mistress is the queen of Vrindavana; I worship the lifter of Govardhana knowing that he is her lover." Raghunatha Dasa Gosvamin expresses the same idea in the "Teachings to the Mind" where he states:

O dear mind! Remember always
that the moon of the forests of Vraja
is my mistress Srimati Radharani's lover,
and that she is the one who rules over him.

Think of Lalita as her unequalled and chief sakhi,
of Visakha as the spiritual master who delivers
the different intimate teachings of loving service;
and remember that the king of mountains and the dear pond
are the givers of attachment, eagerness and devotion
whereby Radha and Krishna's direct presence can be perceived. 170
