Rupa Goswami has written this song “Radhe Jaya Jaya Madhava Dayite”. The official name of this song is Sri Radhika Stava. This song is taken from the book Stavamala (Section: Volume 6 Song 14). In this song, Rupa Goswami has described the glories of Srimati Radha and requested her to shower her mercy upon him.

Radhe Jaya Jaya Madhava Dayite
[Vancouver, 1974: in the temple, after singing the song with the devotees, Maharaja reads the English translation given in the songbook, then explains further:]

Glories, glories to Sri Radharani, the beloved of Madhava and most worshipable of the cowherd girls of Gokula Mandala! Decorated by the dress of Lord Damodara's increasing ecstasy, You are the lady of the house of Lord Hari and the groves of Vrindavan. From the ocean of Vrishabhanu has arisen a new moon which is overwhelming the qualities of Lalita and Vishakha. O Goddess, Your qualities are described by Sanaka and Sanatana Rishis and by Sanatana Goswami. Please bestow Your mercy upon me! 

Vishnujana Swami: We're given a hint here into the nature of spiritual love. That even the dress of the spiritual body is of the nature of ever-increasing ecstasy for the Supreme Lord. Radharani is seated in the swing there with Krishna, and it's described that Her dress is not made of cotton, it's not made of silk, it's not made of oil, like the modern, today all these fabrics are made from oil, isn't it? They take oil and they turn in into dacron and this ron and that ron, you see, so it's not oil, it's not cotton, it's not this, it's not that, what is it? Her dress in made of ever-increasing love for Krishna. Now just imagine—what is the spiritual world. You see, that we cannot imagine, we're always used to making things out of dull matter, but in the spiritual world things are made out of ever-increasing ecstasy. So we're given a little hint.

In another poem, Srimad-Bhagavatam, it's described that Radharani's hair, the knot of her hair, is not ordinary, it's compared to Her confidential deep anguish for Krishna. Just like in this material world you feel deep anguish over something you love, you see. So in the knot of Her hair is an exhibition of anguish for Krishna. And in this way all the different aspects of Radharani, Her crown, Her earring, everything about Her body is transcendentally absorbed in love of Krishna. So this gives us a little hint into the nature of spiritual life. Then, there's a song now about Krishna. First we'll sing about His childhood, page 79. [He chants Damodarashtakam with the devotees.]
