“ŚrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī takes Her first bath in the shower of the nectar of compassion, and She takes Her second bath in the nectar of youth.

Purport

ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī first smears Her body with the paste of Kṛṣṇa’s affection for Her. She then takes Her bath in the water of mercy. After passing the paugaṇá¸a age (from five to ten years), ÅšrÄ«matÄ« RÄdhÄrÄṇī first appears as mercy. The second bath is taken at noon in the water of tÄruṇyÄmá¹›ta, or the nectar of youth. This is the actual expression of Her new youthfulness.
