Dear Sri Visnupada,

Please accept my humble obeisances.

 

In the Narada-pancaratra, fifth night, fifth chapter, verse fifty-nine, the

name "sri-hara" is listed as one of the names of Srimati Radharani. This is

actually a verse from the famous Radhika-sahasra-nama-stotra. The verse runs

as follows:

 

sri-rupa sri-hara sri-da

sri-kama sri-svarupini

sridamananda-datri ca

sridamesvara-vallabha

 

(The last "a" in "sri-hara" is of course long.)

 

There is no doubt, therefore, that Hara is an authorized name of Srimati

Radharani. The Narada-pancaratra is accepted by all Gaudiya Vaisnavas as

most authoritative sastra.

 

Your servant

Ekanatha dasa
