కృష్ణ కృత రాధా స్తోత్ర
(Shri Krishna Krit Radha Stotra in Telugu)
Also known as sri krishna krit radha stotra · shree krishna krit radha stotra · krishna krit radha stotra
Kṛṣṇa's own praise of Rādhā from the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, and it does not begin as praise. The first verses are a lover's complaint: so I am dear to you, and you delight in me — today your words were plainly a pretence; you say constantly and with love that Kṛṣṇa is my life and my very self, and now that has gone in a moment. Only then does the reproach turn into the declaration it was built for, and the register changes completely. You are the presiding deity of my five breaths, and Rādhā is dearer to me than life; I have no power to keep you, and without you the breaths depart — for who lives anywhere without the goddess who presides over him? From there it rises to the theological claim: you are the mother of Mahāviṣṇu, the root nature, the ruler, with qualities in part and in yourself without them.
