Rupanuga Bhajan Darpana Song 16
nāyikāra śiromaṇi braje rādhā
ṭhākurāṇī pañca-bidha sakhī-gaṇa tā'ra
sakhī nitya-sakhī āra prāṇa-sakhī
atah ̣ para priyā-sakhī ei hoilo cāra
the sakhis,
pañcama parama-preṣṭha sakhī-gaṇa
madhye śreṣṭha boli saba śuno bibaraṇa
kusumikā bindhyābatī dhaniṣṭhādi
braja-satī sakhī-gaṇa madhyete gaṇana
the nitya-sakhis,
śrī-rūpa rati kasturī śrī-guṇa
maṇi-mañjarī prabhṛti rādhikā-nitya-sakhī
prāṇa-sakhī bahu tāra basanti
nāyikā āra pradhāna tāhāraśaśimukhī
The nitya-sakhis include Sri Rupa Manjari, Sri Rati Manjari, Sri Guna Manjari, and others. Radharani's prana-sakhis are numerous, including Sri Basanti, and Sri Nayika, and the principle gopi is Sri Sasi-mukhi.
kuraṅgākṣī mañjukeśī sumadhyā
madanālasī kamalā mādhurī kāmalatā
kandarpasundarī āra mādhabī mālatī
āra śaśikalā rādhā-sebā-rata
The priya-sakhis include Kurangaksi, Manjukesi, Sumadhya, Madanalasi, Kamala, Madhuri, Kama-lata, Kandarpa-sundari, Madhavi, Malati, and Sasi-kala, who are all fondly attached to rendering service to Srimati Radharani.
lalitā biśākhā citrā tuṅgabidyā
campalatā indulekhā raṅga-debī satī
sudebīti aṣṭa-jana parama-preṣṭha
sakhī-gaṇa rādhā-kṛṣṇe sebe eka mati
There are eight parama-presta-sakhis, whose only concern is to serve Radha-Krsna with every aspect of their existence, whole-heartedly and selflessly. They are Lalita, Visakha, Citra, Tunga-visya, Campaka-lata, Indu-lekha, Ranga-devi and Sudevi, who are the chastest of all the sahkis.
