"Through her expression of kåma, Laksmi becomes Rådhå, the beloved of Krishna, whom she meets for secret love-play in the enchanted Vrinda forest. In "The Heavenly Gods' Praise-Song for Laksmi" (Sri Daivakarta Laksmi Stotram), the celestial ones celebrate Laksmi in her glorious display of such forms: In Goloka You are the goddess more dear to Krishna Than life itself, His own Radhika Deep in the forest Deep in the Vrnda forest, You are mistress of mesmerizing rasa dance In the bows of the sacred bhandira tree, You are Krishna’s desire. In the sandalwood forest you are Candra, In the grove of yellow jasmine you are Viraja, On the hundred-peaked mountain you are the lovely Sundari."
