PURPORT
The unadulterated action of the  hlādinī śakti  is displayed in the dealings of the damsels of Vraja and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, who is the topmost participant in that transcendental group. The essence of the  hlādinī śakti  is love of Godhead, the essence of love of Godhead is  bhāva , or transcendental sentiment, and the highest pitch of that  bhāva  is called  mahābhāva . Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī is the personified embodiment of these three aspects of transcendental consciousness. She is therefore the highest principle in love of Godhead and is the supreme lovable object of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
