(1) In a solitary place on Govardhana Hill, the best of mountains, Sri Sri Radha and Krsna sit on a couch.  When, accompanied by Lalita and Visakha, will I jubilantly serve Their reddish lotus feet?


(2) When will I take camphor and betel-nuts from a golden box, and place it in their lotus mouths?  When will I place jewel ankle-bells on Their lotus feet?


(3) When will I fill a golden goblet for the Divine Couple?  When will I anoint Their beautiful limbs with aromatic sandal paste?  When, my spiritual master, in his original form as a gopi, at my left, will I fan Their three-fold bending forms with a camara wisk?


(4) When, seeing the lotus eyes of the Divine couple, will the hairs of my body stand up in ecstasy?  When will I directly touch their lotus feet?  Narottama dasa, who is the servant of LordCaitanya’s servants, desires in this way.  He has no other desire.
