ஶ்ரீ ராதா ஸ்தோத்ரம் (கணேஶக்ரு'தம்)

Gaṇeśa's praise of Rādhā from the Brahmavaivarta Purāṇa, addressed to her as the mother of the world and as one whose worship instructs the worlds. Its argument is about origin and is stated in a single line that the tradition rests a great deal on: Rādhā was fashioned from the left side and Mādhava from the right, and Mahālakṣmī, mother of the world, was fashioned in turn from Rādhā's own left side. From there she is called the parent of Vasu who is the dwelling of all, the root nature of the Vedas and of the worlds; every natural thing in creation is her expansion; all the worlds are effects and she alone has the form of the cause. The text ends by turning into something else — it directs that the guru be worshipped with cloth and ornament and sandal, and the whole worn as an armour.
