TRANSLATION

The loving affairs of Śrī Rādhā and Krishna are transcendental manifestations of the Lord's internal pleasure-giving potency. Although Rādhā and Krishna are one in Their identity, They separated Themselves eternally. Now these two transcendental identities have again united, in the form of Śrī Krishna Caitanya. I bow down to Him, who has manifested Himself with the sentiment and complexion of Śrīmatī Rādhārānī although He is Krishna Himself.
