184 e 185
ātmānaṃ cintayet tatra
tāsāṃ madhye manoramām
rūpa-yauvana-sampannāṃ
kiśorīṃ pramadākṛtim
nānā-śilpa-kalābhijñāṃ
kṛṣṇa-bhogānurūpiṇīm
prārthitām api kṛṣṇena
tato bhoga-parāṅmukhīm
"O Sādhaka deve pensar em si mesmo como uma jovem Mañjarī muito bela perita em várias artes, que agrada a Rādhā Kṛṣṇa, relutante em desfrutar directamente com Kṛṣṇa, mesmo quando Ele pessoalmente faz o convite."

rādhikāyāṃ prakurvatīm
"O Sādhaka deve pensar em si mesmo como uma seguidora de Śrī Rādhā, sempre dedicada ao Seu serviço, com mais afeição para Śrī Rādhā do que para Śrī Kṛṣṇa Ele mesmo."
187
prītyānudivasaṃ yatnāt
tayoḥ saṅgama-kāriṇīm

bhareṇāti-su-nirvṛtam

brāhma-muhūrtam ārabhya
yāvat sāntā mahā-niśā
"Pensando em si mesmo desta forma, deve-se servir Śrī Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa do início da manhã no Brahmā Muhūrta até o fim da noite."
Mahāśivarātri Kī Jaya !!!
In Mahāśivarātri we meditate on the instructions of Śiva, the great devotee inaugurator of Vaiṣṇava Rudra-sampradāya.
