Radha's maid tries her best to bring together Krishna and Radha who are separated and experience unbearable agony. She describes the way in which Radha is suffering the pangs of separation so that He could take pity on Radha and meet her soon.
O Jagannatha! Krishna! Hari! Rabha has reached a bush cottage and is tormented by amorous feelings! She is looking in all the four directions with expectancy even as You are engaged in kissing other girls secretly!
O Krishna! Radha left her home enthusiastically thinking of reaching you and walked for a while. But tormented by the pangs of separation from you fell down on the ground!
O Madhava! In order to satisfy her separation from you, Radha has worn lotus stalks and tender leaves as her wrist bands! She recollects the conjugal bliss she had experienced with You earlier! Though she is alive, she is almost dead!
O Kesava! Radha has decked herself with wonderful ornaments and examines herself if her attire is appropriate for conjugal bliss! She looks at herself again and again and removed the dress suitable for women! She beautifies herself and readies herself for conjugal bliss! She becomes Krishna in her thoughts and spends her time!
O Madhava! She is questioning her maids again and again, “ Why is it that my paramour, Krishna hasn’t come to this rendezvous yet?”
O Madhava! Radha left her place to meet you and reached the doors of the bush cottage. She noticed the terrible darkness at the doors similar to the dark rain bearing clouds! Mistaking it for her lover Krishna in her presence, she embraces and kisses the darkness!!
O the Spouse of Lakshmi! Radha is awaiting you at the rendezvous with all things needed for conjugal bliss! But all her enthusiasm has died down as you didn’t arrive in time! She feels shy and is hurt by the pangs of separation from Krishna! She is crying loudly!
This flower song of Jayadeva, called “ Dhanya Vaikunta” shall please devotees lost in bhakthi and those who can experience the erotic description of Divine Love between Radha and Madhava!
