TRANSLATION
Some of the typical services rendered by the sakhis
are: 1) singing songs together about the glories of Radha #
Krsna, 2) performing activities which increase Their attachment for one another, 3) executing the successful performance of Their secret rendezvous, 4) offering different sakhis to Krsna
for His pleasure, 5) pleasing Them by allowing Them to taste the soft, joking speech and comments of the sakhis , and 6) decorating Their bodies with different types of fascinating ornaments, flowers, and cloth, all expertly arranged.
- The sakhis sometimes have to seek out and discover the particular ecstatic emotion which is hidden within the deepest core of Their hearts, 8) they have to hide the faults of Radha
or Krsna at times, 9) and sometimes they have to cheat persons who are opposed to Their meeting. 10) Then, understanding the situation of Their deep-rooted, innermost feelings, they give expert advice which 11) causes Them to unite happily. 12) During the whole time they render numerous other services spontaneously, such as fanning Them gently with jeweled peacock-tail fans and yak-tail whisks.
- Keeping in mind the benefit of Them Both, the sakhis
sometimes have to chastise Them for some fault, 14) they are highly skilled in remembering the momentary moods and inner desires of Radharani
when they convey messages between Radha and Krsna ( in Their presence or at other times when They are separated), 15) they are most expert in maintaining Radharani’s
life during the performance of Their pastimes, in accordance with the specific changes of Her emotional ecstasies which continuously move this way and that. These are all some of the typical services rendered during a day in the life of
Srimati
Radharani’s girlfriends,
Each sakhi is fixed up in her own specific eternal service, which she engages in befittingly at the proper time and place. Whoever wants to do the bhajana which strictly follows Srila
Rupa
Gosvami
dwells upon one particular sakhi and her seva and thus becomes her follower.
REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:
Sixteen services are usually listed by Srila
Rupa
Gosvami . The final one, not mentioned here, is sarva-visaye
prayatna
— special care and attention in all matteers.
