TRANSLATION
1-2) The transcendental Goddess, Srimati
Radharani , has five different divisions of girlfriends in Vraja . She holds Her position as the crown jewel amongst all of these heroines. Their divisions are: 1) the sakhis , 2) the nitya-sakhis , 3) the prana-sakhis , 4) the priya-sakhis , and 5) the parama-presta-sakhis . This last division is undoubtedly the best of all, for they are the dearest to Sri Radha . Please listen carefully as I describe all of these dear girlfriends of Hers . Counted amongst the
sakhis are gopis such as Kusumika , Vindhyavati and Dhanista who are very chaste in Vraja-dhama .
- The nitya-sakhis
include Sri Rupa
Manjari , Sri Rati
Manjari , Sri Guna
Manjari , and others. Radharani’s
prana-sakhis are numerous, including Sri Basanti , and Sri Nayika , and the principle gopi is Sri Sasi-mukhi .
- The priya-sakhis
include Kurangaksi , Manjukesi ,
Sumadhya , Madanalasi , Kamala, Madhuri , Kama-lata ,
Kandarpa-sundari , Madhavi , Malati , and Sasi-kala , who are all fondly attached to rendering service to Srimati
Radharani .
- There are eight parama-presta-sakhis , whose only concern is to serve Radha-Krsna with every aspect of their existence, whole-heartedly and selflessly. They are Lalita , Visakha , Citra, Tunga-visya , Campaka-lata , Indu-lekha , Ranga-devi and Sudevi , who are the chastest of all the sahkis .
