English translation
Insanity arising from intense bliss, from Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta:
“May Rādhā who, having surrendered Her heart to Kṛṣṇa, churned an empty yogurt pot, purify the world. And may Kṛṣṇa, whose eyes like bees hovered upon Rādhā’s breasts which were like clusters of flowers, and who with mind absorbed in Rādhā, began milking a bull, purify the world.”
