A newly composed verse in glorification of Śrī Rādhā. This verse employs the alaṅkāra (poetic ornament/figure of speech) named — Lāṭa-anuprāsa. In this poetic ornament, an entire sentence is repeated, each repetition having a different meaning. The verse is as follows:
महानर्थो महानर्थो राधिकाज्ञानतो भवेत् ॥
mahānartho mahānartho
rādhikā'jñānato bhavet
mahānartho mahānartho
rādhikājñānato bhavet
Translation:
By exhibiting rādhikājñāna (rādhikā + ajñāna i.e. ignorance regarding Śrī-Rādhā), a mahānarthaḥ (mahān + arthaḥ — great fortune) turns into mahānarthaḥ (mahā + anarthaḥ — great misfortune).
Similarly, by exhibiting rādhikājñāna (rādhikā + jñāna i.e. knowledge pertaining to Śrī-Rādhā), a mahānarthaḥ (mahā + anarthaḥ — great misfortune) turns into mahānarthaḥ (mahān + arthaḥ — great fortune).
— Composed and Translated by Hari Pārṣada Dāsa. 20 March 2023.
