॥ Sri Radhakunda Ashtakam English Lyrics ॥
vrsabha danuja nasan narma dharmokti rangair
nikhila nija sakhibhir yat sva hastena p urnam
prakatitam api vrndaranya rajna pramodais
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 1 ॥
vraja bhuvi mura satroh preyasinam nikamair
asulabham api t urnam prema kalpa drumam tam
janayati hrdi bh umau snatur uccair priyam yat
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 2 ॥
agha ripur api yatnad atra devyah prasada
prasara krta kataksa prapti kamah prakamam
anusarati yad ucaaih snana sevanubandhais
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 3 ॥
vraja bhuvana sudhamsoh prema bh umir nikamam
vraja madhura kisori mauli ratna priyeva
paricitam api namna ya ca tenaiva tasyas
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 4 ॥
api jana iha kascid yasya seva prasadaih
pranaya sura lata syat tasya gosthendra s unoh
sapadi kila mad isa dasya puspa prasasya
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 5 ॥
tata madhura nikunjah klpta namana uccair
nija parijana vargaih samvibhajyasritas taih
madhukara ruta ramya yasya rajanti kamyas
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 6 ॥
tata bhuvi vara vedyam yasya narmati hrdyam
madhura madhura vartam gostha candrasya bhangya
prathayati mitha isa prana sakhyalibhih sa
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 7 ॥
anudinam ati rangaih prema mattali sanghair
vara sarasija gandhair hari vari prap urne
viharata iha yasmin dam pati tau pramattau
tad ati surabhi radha kundam evasrayo me ॥ 8 ॥
avikalam ati devyas caru kundastakam yah
paripathati tadiyollasi dasyarpitatma
aciram iha sarire darsayaty eva tasmai
madhu ripur ati modaih slisyamanam priyam tam ॥ 9 ॥
