Meaning – “In a village called Ârit, there resides a holy place called Râdhâkund, which is the crest-jewel of Brajdhâm. It was born from the mercy of Sri Chaitanya Mahâprabhu and became all the more holy because Srila raghunâth dâs Goswâi resided here. Therefore we consider it to be the topmost pilgrimage for the Vaishnavs.

Two lakes appeared in the midnight of the dark fortnight in the month of Kârtik. They were the water-forms of the divine couple sporting together and they hold the waters of all the holy places.

Radhakund was manifested by Srimati Râdhârâni while Shyâmsundar revealed the Shyâmkund. The lakes love each other  as if they are two bodies with a single soul. They have appeared on earth to scatter mercy on one and all, because Sri Hari bestows His bounties on us simply if we bathe once in the lakes.

Every day during the midday, the Divine Couple unites here on different pretexts. This is verily the ground for love-sports. Radhakund has eight flower-groves on eight corners and beautiful swings for the pleasure of the divine couple and the sakhis.This is why I pray to dear Râi and Kânu that I may get to live on the banks of Râdhâkund, not only in this life, but birth after birth – I seek nothing else.
