Text 10
সেই কুণ্ডে যেই একবার করে স্নান ।
তাঁরে রাধা-সম ‘প্রেম’ কৃষ্ণ করে দান ॥ ১০ ॥
sei kuṇḍe yei eka-bāra kare snāna
tāṅre rādhā-sama ‘prema’ kṛṣṇa kare dāna

Translation
“Indeed, Lord Kṛṣṇa gives ecstatic love like that of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī to whoever bathes in that lake even once in his life.

Text 11
কুণ্ডের ‘মাধুরী’ — যেন রাধার ‘মধুরিমা’ ।
কুণ্ডের ‘মহিমা’ — যেন রাধার ‘মহিমা’ ॥ ১১ ॥
kuṇḍera ‘mādhurī’ — yena rādhāra ‘madhurimā’
kuṇḍera ‘mahimā’ — yena rādhāra ‘mahimā’

Translation
“The attraction of Rādhā-kuṇḍa is as sweet as that of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Similarly, the glories of the kuṇḍa [lake] are as great as Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s.

Text 12
শ্রীরাধেব হরেস্তদীয়সরসী প্রেষ্ঠাদ্ভুতৈঃ স্বৈর্গুণৈ-
র্যস্যাং শ্রীযুত-মাধববেন্দুরনিশং প্রীত্যা তয়া ক্রীড়তি ।
প্রেমাস্মিন্ বত রাধিকেব লভতে যস্যাং সকৃৎ স্নানকৃৎ
তস্যা বৈ মহিমা তথা মধুরিমা কেনাস্তু বর্ণ্যঃ ক্ষিতৌ ॥ ১২ ॥
śrī-rādheva hares tadīya-sarasī preṣṭhādbhutaiḥ svair guṇair
yasyāṁ śrī-yuta-mādhavendur aniśaṁ prītyā tayā krīḍati
premāsmin bata rādhikeva labhate yasyāṁ sakṛt snāna-kṛt
tasyā vai mahimā tathā madhurimā kenāstu varṇyaḥ kṣitau

Translation
“ ‘Because of its wonderful transcendental qualities, Rādhā-kuṇḍa is as dear to Kṛṣṇa as Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. It was in that lake that the all-opulent Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa performed His pastimes with Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī with great pleasure and transcendental bliss. Whoever bathes just once in Rādhā-kuṇḍa attains Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s loving attraction for Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Who within this world can describe the glories and sweetness of Śrī Rādhā-kuṇḍa?’ ”

Text 13
এইমত স্তুতি করে প্রেমাবিষ্ট হঞা ।
তীরে নৃত্য করে কুণ্ডলীলা সঙরিয়া ॥ ১৩ ॥
ei-mata stuti kare premāviṣṭa hañā
tīre nṛtya kare kuṇḍa-līlā saṅariyā

Translation
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu thus offered prayers to Rādhā-kuṇḍa. Overwhelmed by ecstatic love, He danced on the bank, remembering the pastimes Lord Kṛṣṇa performed on the bank of Rādhā-kuṇḍa.

Text 14
কুণ্ডের মৃত্তিকা লঞা তিলক করিল ।
ভট্টাচার্য-দ্বারা মৃত্তিকা সঙ্গে করি’ লৈল ॥ ১৪ ॥
kuṇḍera mṛttikā lañā tilaka karila
bhaṭṭācārya-dvārā mṛttikā saṅge kari’ laila

Translation
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu then marked His body with tilaka made from the mud of Rādhā-kuṇḍa, and with the help of Balabhadra Bhaṭṭācārya, He collected some of the mud and took it with Him.

CC Ādi 10.101
তিন সন্ধ্যা রাধাকুণ্ডে অপতিত স্নান ।
ব্রজবাসী বৈষ্ণবে করে আলিঙ্গন মান ॥ ১০১ ॥
tina sandhyā rādhā-kuṇḍe apatita snāna
vraja-vāsī vaiṣṇave kare āliṅgana māna

Translation
Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī took three baths daily in the Rādhā-kuṇḍa lake. As soon as he found a Vaiṣṇava residing in Vṛndāvana, he would embrace him and give him all respect.

NOI 9
वैकुण्ठाज्जनितो वरा मधुपुरी तत्रापि रासोत्सवाद्वृन्दारण्यमुदारपाणिरामणात्तत्रापि गोवर्धनः ।
राधाकुण्डमिहापि गोकुलपतेः प्रेमामृताप्लावनात्कुर्यादस्य विराजतो गिरितटे सेवां विवेकी न कः ॥ ९ ॥
vaikuṇṭhāj janito varā madhu-purī tatrāpi rāsotsavād
vṛndāraṇyam udāra-pāṇi-ramaṇāt tatrāpi govardhanaḥ
rādhā-kuṇḍam ihāpi gokula-pateḥ premāmṛtāplāvanāt
kuryād asya virājato giri-taṭe sevāṁ vivekī na kaḥ

Translation
The holy place known as Mathurā is spiritually superior to Vaikuṇṭha, the transcendental world, because the Lord appeared there. Superior to Mathurā-purī is the transcendental forest of Vṛndāvana because of Kṛṣṇa’s rāsa-līlā pastimes. And superior to the forest of Vṛndāvana is Govardhana Hill, for it was raised by the divine hand of Śrī Kṛṣṇa and was the site of His various loving pastimes. And, above all, the superexcellent Śrī Rādhā-kuṇḍa stands supreme, for it is overflooded with the ambrosial nectarean prema of the Lord of Gokula, Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Where, then, is that intelligent Person who is unwilling to serve this divine Rādhā-kuṇḍa, which is situated at the foot of Govardhana Hill?

Purport
...
Advanced devotees prefer to reside at Rādhā-kuṇḍa because this place is the site of many memories of the eternal loving affairs between Kṛṣṇa and Rādhārāṇī (rati-vilāsa).
