“Śrī-Śrī Viśākhānandada Stotram – “Praises that delight Viśākhā”{verses 56 – 57}

VERSE 56:

KṚṢṆA KELI VARĀRĀMA VIHĀRĀDBHUTA KOKILĀ
NĀDĀKṚṢṬA BAKADVEṢI VĪRA DHĪRA MANO MṚGĀ

She is a wonderful cuckoo who enjoys in the best garden of Kṛṣṇa’s play,
and Her lovely voice attracts even the deer-like mind of a great and grave hero like Bakadveṣī (Kṛṣṇa).

Stavāmṛta Kaṇā Vyākhyā:

Just as a cuckoo freely enjoys in a big garden, the golden cuckoo Rādhikā always freely enjoys in the excellent garden of Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes. Seeing, glorifying, hearing and remembering the sweetness of Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes is Her very life-support.
Her lovely voice attracts even the great grave hero Bakadveṣi (Kṛṣṇa, the enemy of Bakāsura).
Wherever this great hero, who was able to tear the huge crane-demon Baka in two as if it was a blade of grass, hears Her delectable voice He becomes attracted to Her.

VERSE 57:

PRAṆAYODREKA SIDDHYEKA VAŚĪKṚTA DHṚTĀCALĀ
MĀDHAVĀTI VAŚĀ LOKE MĀDHAVĪ MĀDHAVA PRIYĀ

With the mystic power of Her great love She controls Giridhārī.
She is known in the world as being controlled by Mādhava,
and She is also called Mādhavī, Mādhava’s beloved.

Stavāmṛta Kaṇā Vyākhyā:

What a great storehouse of Rādhā-tattva Śrī Raghunātha opens while he composes this stotram!
He is truly the object of Her unlimited grace!

It is as if Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, the shoreless ocean of sweet and beautiful rasika pastimes, has taken the form of this Viśākhānandada stotram.

Śrī Raghunātha dāsa says: “With Her mystic perfections Rādhikā has subdued Giridhārī”.

Praṇaya means an increase in love which makes the lovers think they are non-different from each other. Actually Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are One soul appearing in two forms.
They are non-different from Each other to the extent that you cannot even say anymore that Rādhā belongs to Kṛṣṇa or Kṛṣṇa belongs to Rādhā.

In Alaṅkāra Kaustubha Kavi Karṇapūra has written:

preyāṁs te’haṁ tam api ca mama preyasīti pravādas
tvaṁ me prāṇā aham api tavāsmīti hanta pralāpah
tvam me tasyāham iti ca ya tac cano sādhu rādhe
vyāhāre nau nahi samucito yusmad asmad prayogah

Śrī Kṛṣṇa said: “Ayi Rādhe! It is nonsensical to say ‘I am Your beloved and You are My beloved’, or ‘I am Your life and You are My life’. It is also not good to say that You are Mine and I am Yours, for all these statements indicate a difference between Us. O Rādhe! It is simply an illusion to say things like “Yours” and “Mine”!

This is why it is said –
rādhā Kṛṣṇa eka ātmā dui deha dhari;
anyonya vilase rasa āsvādane kori
(C.C)

“Although in actual truth Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are non-different from Each other They have become Śrīmān Priya and Śrīmatī Priyā for the sake of relishing the mellows of Their loving exchange”.

How sweet and intense Their mutual love is is shown in the following verses.
Just as Rādhikā subdues Mādhava with Her love, Mādhava also subdues Rādhikā with His love! Because Rādhikā is Mādhava’s beloved She is called Mādhavī.

In Ujjvala Nīlamaṇi (Nāyikā 94) it is said:

ced iyam preyasā hātuṁ kṣaṇam apy ati duhśakā;
parama prema vaśyatvān mādhavīti tadocyate

“When Kṛṣṇa is unable to leave Rādhā for even a moment without feeling utterly miserable, being completely controlled by Her love, She is called Mādhavī.”
