utkaṇṭhā daśaka stavena nitarāṁ navyena divyaiḥ svarair
vṛndāraṇya mahendra paṭṭa mahiṣīṁ yaḥ stauti samyak sudhīḥ
tasmai prāṇa-samā guṇānurasanāt saṁjāta harṣotsavaiḥ
kṛṣṇo’nargham abhīṣṭa ratnam acirād etat sphuṭaṁ yacchati

Śrī Kṛṣṇa will most blissfully give the desired jewel of Śrī Rādhā’s personal service to any wise man who recites this new Utkaṇṭhā-daśaka with a beautiful voice, and who thus fully praises Śrī Rādhā, the enthroned Queen of Vṛndāvana, for that devotee has helped Him to relish all of Her divine qualities in this way!

Stavāmṛta Kaṇā Vyākhyā:

In this verse Śrīla Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī utters the phala-śruti, or final benediction on anyone who recites this Utkaṇṭhā daśaka.

Taking this Utkaṇṭhā-daśaka to his anxious heart, Śrīla Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī prays for the bhajana and personal devotional service of his beloved Īśvarī. Therefore, any wise man who recites this Utkaṇṭhā daśaka with a beautiful voice will fully praise Śrī Rādhārāṇī, the Queen of Śrī Vṛndāvana. These words of Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī have become so greatly powerful because they are filled with so much eagerness. Śrī Kṛṣṇa will also become unsteady out of ecstasy because of relishing the sweet attributes of Śrīmatī, who is dearer to Him than life, in this way, and, forgetting whether the reciter is qualified or not, He will swiftly bless him by giving him his desired jewel of Śrī Rādhā’s personal service. This devotional service is the highest aim of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇavas:

rādhā-Kṛṣṇa prāṇa mora, yugala kiśora;
jīvane marane gati āra nāhi mora
kālindīra kūle keli kadambera ban;
ratana vedīropare bosābo du’jan
śyāma-gaurī aṅge dibo (cūyā) candanera gandha;
cāmara ḍhulābo kobe heri mukha-candra
gāṅthiyā mālatīra mālā dibo doṅhāra gole;
adhare tuliyā dibo karpūra tāmbūle
lalitā viśākhā ādi yoto sakhī-vṛnda;
ājñāya koribo sevā caraṇāravinda
śrī Kṛṣṇa caitanya prabhura dāsera anudāsa;
narottama dāsa kore sevā abhilāsa

“Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, the adolescent Couple, are my very life. In life or in death I have no other shelter than Them. In a Kadamba-forest on the bank of the Yamunā I will seat Them on a jewelled throne and I will anoint Their blackish and golden limbs with sandalwood pulp. When can I behold Their moon-like faces while fanning Them with a yaktail-fan? I will string garlands of Mālatī-flowers and hang them around Their necks and I will place betelleaves with camphor in Their mouths. On the order of Lalitā, Viśākhā and so many other sakhīs I will serve Their lotus feet. Narottama dāsa, the servant of the servant of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, thus covets the devotional service of the adolescent Couple of Vṛndāvana!”

bhūmaṇḍale bhāgyavān,       sei to subuddhimān,
yei jana divya svara yoge
utkaṇṭhā daśaka stave,            gāna kore abhinave,
premānande ati anurāge

“Anyone in this world who is so fortunate and intelligent to sing this ever-fresh Utkaṇṭhā-daśaka with a beautiful voice and intense ecstatic love……”

śravaṇete stava gāthā,                    tuṣṭa vinodinī rādhā,
vṛndāvana kuñja pāṭarāṇī
priyājīra stavāvalī,                  amṛta taraṅga keli,
śuni nāgarendra cūḍāmaṇi.

parama ānanda mane,          śrī rādhāra śrī-caraṇe,
sthāna diyā kuñja abhyantare,
prema sevā kore dāna,                  yugala kiśora prāṇa,
rādhā pada dāsī nāma dhare

“Hearing this stava being sung, Vinodini Rādhā, the enthroned Queen of Vṛndāvana, will be very pleased, and Kṛṣṇa, the crown jewel of all amorous heroes, will most blissfully give the reciter of these praises to His Priyājī, which are like playful waves of nectar, a place at Śrī Rādhā’s feet in the kuñja. Calling him ‘Rādhā’s foot-maidservant’, He will give that reciter the loving service that is the life of the Yugala Kiśora.”

ihāra adhika prāpti,           tribhuvane nāhi kati,
sarvābhīṣṭa pūrṇa yāte hoy
bhāgavata cūḍāmaṇi,                raghunātha dāsa gosvāmī,
uccaih svare phukāriyā koy

“There is no higher attainment than this in all the three worlds and all desires are fulfilled by this. Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, the crown jewel of all devotee-saints, thus cries out loudly in prayer!”

Thus ends Śrīla Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī’s ‘Utkaṇṭhā Daśakam’
