अर्थ

श्री राधिका स्तव — 'राधे जय जय माधवदयिते' से आरम्भ होने वाला — श्रील रूप गोस्वामी रचित श्रीमती राधारानी की एक संक्षिप्त, अत्यन्त मधुर प्रार्थना है, जो उनके स्तवमाला में संकलित है। एक टेक और तीन युगल पंक्तियों में यह राधा को कृष्ण की परम प्रिया, गोपियों एवं वृन्दावन की पूज्य ईश्वरी, वृषभानु-कुल की चन्द्ररेखा, तथा ललिता-विशाखा की प्रिय सखी के रूप में महिमामंडित करता है और इस हार्दिक याचना से समाप्त होता है — 'हे करुणामयी, मुझ पर कृपा कीजिए।' सम्पूर्ण ब्रज में यह राधा की कृपा हेतु प्रिय नित्य प्रार्थना है।

उत्पत्ति और कथा

Stavamala of Srila Rupa Goswami · Srila Rupa Goswami · 16th century CE

Srila Rupa Goswami, the chief of the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan whom Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu personally empowered to reveal the science of devotion, composed numerous prayers gathered in his Stavamala. Among the most beloved is this Sri Radhika Stava, 'Radhe jaya jaya Madhava-dayite'. In a tender refrain and three verses he hails Radharani as the darling of Krishna, the worshipful queen of the gopis and of the forest of Vrindavan, the crescent moon of King Vrishabhanu's house, and the dear companion of Lalita and Vishakha — and then, humbly, simply begs: 'O most compassionate one, be merciful to me.' It has remained a cherished daily prayer for Radha's grace throughout Braj.

शास्त्रों में वर्णित

Devotees of Braj hold that this short prayer of Rupa Goswami carries his own pure longing, and that those who sing 'karunam kuru mayi karuna-bharite' with a sincere heart draw the compassionate glance of Srimati Radharani, by whose mercy alone the door to Krishna's loving service is opened.
