The devoted practitioner with a clear mind, who chants this hymn with dedication on specific lunar days such as the full moon, the bright eighth day, tenth day, eleventh day, or the thirteenth day, will see all their wishes come to fruition. Through the compassionate gaze of Sri Radha, they will be blessed with a unique form of devotional service filled with pure, heartfelt love (Prema).
ऊरुदघ्ने नाभिदघ्ने हृद्दघ्ने कण्ठदघ्नके ।

ऐश्वर्यं च लभेत् साक्षाद्दृशा पश्यति राधिकाम् ॥१७॥
A devotee (sadhaka) who chants this verse 100 times while standing in the waters of Sri Radha-kunda, whether up to the thighs, navel, chest, or neck, achieves the four main objectives of human life: dharma (righteousness), artha (prosperity), kama (desire fulfillment), and moksha (spiritual liberation). Such a person also gains the ability to make their words come true, experiences immense spiritual richness, and is graced with the direct vision of Sri Radhika, even with their current eyesight.
तेन स तत्क्षणादेव तुष्टा दत्ते महावरम् ।
येन पश्यति नेत्राभ्यां तत् प्रियं श्यामसुन्दरम् ॥१८॥
Thus, when Sri Radhika is delighted, She immediately grants a significant blessing. That blessing allows one to witness Her cherished Syamasundara with their own eyes.
नित्यलीला–प्रवेशं च ददाति श्री-व्रजाधिपः ।
अतः परतरं प्रार्थ्यं वैष्णवस्य न विद्यते ॥१९॥
The very Master of Vraja-dhama allows one to join His eternal moments of joyous daily activities. Beyond this aspiration, genuine Vaishnavas don’t truly desire anything else.
