(1) palya-dasi: "A maintained maidservant." Srila Raghunath Das Goswami has described the mood (bhava) of a palya-dasi in his composition Vraja-vilasa-stava (29):

sandra-prema-rasaih pluta priyataya pragalbhyam apta tayoh
prana-prestha-vayasyayor anudinam lilabhisaram kramaih
vaidagdhyena tatha sakhim prati sada manasya siksam rasair
yeyam karayatiha hanta lalita grhnatu sa mam ganaih

Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur has translated this verse in his Jaiva-dharma as follows: "Sri Lalita Devi, steeped in intense divine love and impu­dent as an expression of her affection, makes daily arrangements for the secluded amorous union of her dearly beloved Sri Radha and Sri Krishna. With her cunning, she teaches her dearest girlfriend, Sri Radhika, the art of exhibiting jealous anger (man). May that Lalita Devi accept me within her group of associates; may she accept me as her maintained maidservant (palya-dasi)."

(2) sri radhara sukhe ... kami: "I will never become desirous of direct union with Sri Krishna." This mood of chastity has been explained by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur in his Jaiva-dharma as follows:

"You are a maidservant of Sri Radhika—Her service alone is your service. If, being sent by Her, you enter into the presence of Krishna in a solitary place and Krishna approaches you amorously, you should not consent to His advances. You are Sri Radhika's maidservant; without Sri Radhika's permission you should not independently serve Krishna. Although you should maintain equal affection for both Radha and Krishna, you should be more eager to engage in the loving service (dasya-prema) of Sri Radhika than the loving service of Sri Krishna. This is known as seva. Your only seva is to engage in Sri Radha's service during all eight periods of the day (asta-kalin)."

(3) sakhi-gana ... kalpa-taru: "Sri Radha's girlfriends are my Gurus ... As their follower, I will serve Sri Radha." This practice of subservience unto Sri Radha's girlfriends has been explained by Srila Raghunath Das Goswami Prabhu in his Vraja-vilasa-stava (38):

tambularpana-pada-mardana-payo-danabhisaradibhir
vrndaranya-mahesvarim priyataya yas tosayanti priyah
prana-prestha-sakhi-kulad api kilasankochita bhumikah
keli-bhumisu rupa-manjari-mukhas ta dasikah samsraye

Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur translates this verse as follows in his Jaiva-dharma: "The group of Sri Radhika's maidservants led by Sri Rupa Manjari always please Her by offering Her betel-rolls, massaging Her feet, bringing Her water, arranging for Her secluded amorous unions with Her paramour, Sri Krishna, and by performing other such services with affection. They are by nature more unreserved in their service activities than the prana-prestha-sakhis (Lalita Devi, Visakha Devi, and so forth). I take complete shelter of them (I accept them as my instructing guardians (Siksa-gurus) who guide me in my service activities)."

(4) radha-paksa ... ta'ke: "I am always completely partial to Sri Radha's party ..." This conviction has been expressed by Srila Raghunath Das Goswami Prabhu in the sixth verse of his Svaniyama-dasakam:

anadrtyodgitam api muni-ganair vainika-mukhaih
pravinam gandharvam api cha nigamais tat-priyatamam
ya ekam govindam bhajati kapati dambhikataya
tad-abhyarne sirne ksanam api na yami vratam idam

"I never, even for a moment, go near the impure vicinity of a conceited charlatan who worships Sri Govinda alone, having disregarded His dearmost beloved Srimati Gandharva, whose super-excellent glories are sung throughout all the scriptures by the great sages headed by the vina player Narad Muni. This is my solemn vow."

Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur expresses the same conviction in the ninth verse of his Svaniyama-dvadasakam:

aradham govindam bhajati nitaram dambhikataya
tad-abhyase kintu ksanam api na yami vratam idam

"I will never, even for a moment, go anywhere near those who, ridden with extreme conceit, worship Sri Govinda without Sri Radha. This is my vow."
