O! When, having learnt how to cook from Campakalatā, the supreme expert in the science of flavors, will I make my mistress along with all of Her sakhīs and Kṛṣṇa,
who has come to meet them in the groves at midday on the pretext of tending His cows, enjoy a feast that defeats the taste of nectar?

Stavāmṛta Kaṇā Vyākhyā:

Śrī Raghunātha dāsa now reveals the desire to learn expertise in cooking from Campakalatā-devī, who is herself the most expert cook. The maidservants of Śrī Rādhā are the embodiments of sevā-rasa, and they don’t know anything else but the service of the Divine Couple. Therefore, the strong indomitable desire to become qualified to render different services awakens in the heart of Śrī Raghunātha dāsa, who is completely absorbed in his mañjarī-svarūpa in this stotra. Śrīpāda’s heart and mind are absorbed in the desire to serve the Yugala. In order to awaken these sacred desires, the devotees take shelter of Vraja-dhāma.
Who can remain free from astonishment after seeing how the devotees become absorbed in the sweetness of Vraja-dhāma as they are doing bhajana in Vṛndāvana, forgetting everything connected with their material bodies? Within this material world, that can be grasped by the senses, Vṛndāvana is a lovely luminary that astonishes everyone with its transcendental sweetness and beauty.
The Gosvāmīs are illuminating the minds of all the practicing devotees of the world with this transcendental light, and thus dispel the darkness of their ignorance and attract them to the kingdom of ecstatic love. They have rendered a great service to humanity by recording their intimate desires for bhajana in their verses.

Śrīla Raghunātha is aborbed in unadulterated mañjarī bhāva and reveals his desire to learn cooking from Śrī Campakalatā.

pacana rasavic campakalatā: Campakalatā is most expert in the science of cooking.

Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī describes her thus in his “Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Gaṇoddeśa Dīpikā”:

tṛtīyā campakalatā phulla campaka dīdhitiḥ;
ekenāhnā kaniṣṭheyaṁ cāṣa pakṣa nimbhāmbarā
pitur ārāmato jātā bāṭikāyāṁ tu mātari;
boḍhā caṇḍākṣa nāmāsyā viśākhā sadṛśī guṇaiḥ

“The third of the eight sakhīs is Campakalatā, who shines like blooming (golden) Campaka-flowers, who is one day younger than Rādhā and whose garment shines like Cāṣa-birds. Her father is named Ārāma, her mother’s name is Bāṭikā and her husband’s name is Caṇḍākṣa. She has the same attributes as Viśākhā”.

phala prasūna kandānāṁ sandhāna prakriyā vidhau;
hasta cāturya mātrena nānā mṛṇmaya nirmitau
ṣaḍ rasānāṁ parīkṣāyāṁ śuddha śāstre ca kovidā;
sitotpalākṛti paṭur miṣṭa hasteti viśrutā

“She is engaged in searching for fruits, flowers and roots, she’s expert in making clay pots with the hands, testing the six basic flavors and studying cookbooks, and she’s called ‘sweet-handed’ because she cooks sweets made with rock-candy.” It is this Campakalatā who mercifully teaches Tulasī how to become expert in cooking. On the pretext of tending His cows Kṛṣṇa daily goes to Vṛndāvana with His friends Subala and Madhumaṅgala:

nija sama sakhā saṅge, gogaṇa cāraṇa raṅge,
vṛndāvane svacchanda vihāra
yāra veṇu-dhvani śuni, sthāvara jaṅgama prāṇī,
pulaka kampa aśru bohe dhāra (C.C.)

“Along with His dear friends, that are on an equal level with Him, Kṛṣṇa tends the cows, freely enjoying in Vṛndāvana. When the moving and non-moving creatures of the forest hear His flute-song they shiver, horripilate and shed tears of ecstatic love.”

This tending of the cows is simply a pretext, because as soon as Kṛṣṇa comes to Govardhana Hill, He leaves His friends with the cows and goes to Rādhākuṇḍa to enjoy different pastimes with Rādhārānī and Her friends in the private arbours there.

(Kṛṣṇa sings:) rākhāl loiyā bone, sadā phiri dhenu sane, tuyā lāgi bone vanacārī – “For Your sake I become a cow herder and wander from forest to forest with My cows.”

tomāra lāgiyā beḍāi bhramiyā giri nadī bone bone – “For meeting You I wander over the mountains and rivers and through all the forests.”

What a wonderful place to enjoy intimate pastimes the groves on the bank of Rādhākuṇḍa is!

Śrī Raghunātha dāsa says: “When my Īśvarī Rādhā and Her sakhīs become tired and hungry of enjoying with Their Prāṇanātha on the bank of Rādhākuṇḍa at midday, then I have kept a nectar-mocking feast in each kuñja that I can feed to them according to opportunity! O sakhi Rūpa Mañjari! When will that fortunate day be mine?”

Śrī Kuṇḍāśrayī Śrīpāda Raghunātha’s heart oscillates on the waves of these ecstatic desires for rendering different services to Śrī-Śrī Rādhā-Mādhava in the kuñjas around Rādhākuṇḍa.
Overcome with these strong desires for devotional service day and night, he forgets about his body and his home and wanders in the kingdom of bhāva.
His anxious prayers in that kingdom are recorded in this stotra with different wonderful words in wonderful moods.

pāka rase suśikṣitā campakalatā nāma;
śikhābe sampūrṇa kori pākera
vidhānabhojana sāmagrī yoto nāma parāmṛta;
nija hāte prastuta kori sakhī śikṣāmata
sakhī saṅge prati kuñje divā madhya kāle;
bhuñjābo manera sādhe prāṇeśa yugale (6)

“Campakalatā is well-trained in cooking and she will teach me everything about it herself.
She will personally prepare all the dishes that are known as Parāmṛta (the greatest nectar), just to teach me by example.
Then I will be able to serve this to the Pair of my heart at midday with the sakhīs in each and every kuñja.”
