You should remember that Radharani never bathes in ordinary water. She takes Herbath in nectar, as stated in this verse. Generally, She takes bath in the Yamuna River. Have you taken bath in the Yamuna? If you have then you are very fortunate, because Radharani and Krsna took bath in the Yamuna. The Yamuna is a very sacred river. When Radha and Krsna descended in this world 5,000 years ago and were manifesting Their transcendental loving pastimes in Vendavana, They were often playing in the water of the Yamuna River, jalakrda. So the Yamuna is very, very fortunate.
However, here Raghunatha dasa Gosvami says something else. He says that Radharani takes Her bath in nectar. What type of nectar? Karunyamrta, tarunyamṛta, and lavanyamṛta. Karunya means 'mercy'. Mercy is like nectar. She takes Her bath in that nectar, karunyamṛta, before noon. tarunyamṛta is also like nectar. Taru means 'youth', and Radharani takes Her bath in that nectar at noon. Then lavanyamṛta, lavanya means 'beauty'. That is also like nectar and She takes Her bath in that nectar in the afternoon. This has a very, very deep meaning; it is very difficult to understand.
