58-69 Phala-Śruti Śrī Rādhikāṣṭam
58 "Whoever praises Śrī Rādhā's Prāṇa-vallabha by this astakam will receive Kṛṣṇa's Darśana with Rādhārani. For they will gladly engage the reciter in their caraṇa Kāmala sevā, which is rare even for Lakṣmī."
59-66 Now Kalokti prays: "Oh Rādhike! Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. Your Aṅga Kānti steals the pride of a svarṇa Padma dipped in kuṅkuma, and your Aṅga gandha defeats its fragrance. So only you can completely fulfill Śrī Govinda's sarva Kāma.
"Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. Your silken Śārī defeats the Kānti of Prabala-gems (coral), you are the blooming puṣpa-barika (flower garden) for the enmaddened Kṛṣṇa-bee, and you worship Padminī Bandhu (Surya deva) for an excuse to meet Kṛṣṇa."
O Rādhike! Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. Your bodily softness outmatches the newly blossomed leaves, and your body is cooler than the moon, sandalwood paste, camphor or the lotus. And Śrī Gopīnathaji's Kandarpa fever is vanquished by your touch."
O Rādhike! Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. Your matchless beauty, youth and Līlā are praised by every fortunate Yuvatī rama including Lakṣmī; no one is your equal."
"O Rādhike! Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. In Rāsa Līlā's singing, dancing, and joking vaidagdhya (wit) you are a Pāṇḍita. Your virtuous qualities and numerous dresses are all rendered ramaṇīya (pleasing) by your exemplary prema. Amongst all the Gopīs you are the masterpiece!"
O Rādhike! Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. Seeing your nava Rūpa, keli and prema, the nava anurāginī Vraja Kiśorīs tremble! (your Sakhīs shiver in bliss and your rivals shiver in fear). But your mind is always fixed on Govinda's manohara Rūpa, Veśa (dress) and keli (sporting activities)."
"O Rādhike! Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. Sātttvika bhāvas like perspiration, shivering, horripilation, tears and faltering speech ornament your body, and your bhavālaṅkāras like anger, jubilation and resistance are Śrī Kṛṣṇa's locana ānanda dhāma (abode of bliss for the eyes)."
O Rādhike! Please be merciful and accept me as your nitya caraṇa Dāsi. Deep pain overtakes you if Kṛṣṇa's separation occurs for even half a second! Humility, restlessness, and other bhāvas exhilarate you, yet when you finally get Kṛṣṇa by the help of your Sakhīs, you attain shanti."
The benediction (Phala Śruti)
67-69 "Anyone praying to Kṛṣṇa's beloved Rādhā with, these eight prayers will invoke her Karuṇā. She will personally appear before him with Śyāmasundar and her Sakhīs to award her Dāsyamṛta sevā which is impossible to attain for Pārvatī and other Devīs."
While hearing Śrī Kṛṣṇa Guṇa amṛta from the Śuka and the Śārikās, Rādhikā's Sakhī samāja submerges within a boundless ocean of bliss!
As the result of Śrī Rūpa Goswami's mature sevā aroused by drinking the madhu at Śrī Chaitanya Deva's lotus feet, the request of Śrī Raghunātha Dāsa, the association of Śrī Jīva, and the benediction of Śrī Raghunātha Bhatta, Govinda-līlāmṛta's seventeenth chapter ends.
