Another translation:
The maidservant named Śrī Rūpa-mañjarī became joyful because she is an expert in tastefully dressing and decorating Rādhā-Mādhava[1].
One mañjarī placed a pillow behind Rādhā-Mādhava, while another covered Their bare bodies with a soft cloth. Another mañjarī gave Rādhā-Mādhava a mildly sweet, herbal wake-up tonic, which made Their eyes open wide and removed Their dizziness[2].
Another mañjarī moistened a piece of soft, expensive cloth with rose water and cleaned the kajjala, tāmbūla and lac stains on Their bodies. Rādhā-Mādhava became so effulgent that Their faces resembled mirrors reflecting Their forms[3].
One mañjarī offered Them betel. Another lovingly and gracefully offered maṅgala-ārātrika with a jeweled lamp in such a way, it seemed she was offering her own life airs millions of times to Rādhā and Krishna[4].
