Question: Is Radharani Mentioned in the Bhagavatam?

Kindly enlighten me whether Srimati Radharani's name is mentioned in any of the scriptures like Srimad-Bhagavatam or Upanishads. If not, then why not? Srimad-Bhagavatam is the king of all scriptures, grantharaja, and mentions all the activities of the different avatars including Lord Buddha.

Answer: Srimati Radharani Although Hidden is Mentioned

Radharani's name is mentioned in many places in the Vedic literatures. For example in the Padma Purana it is said:

yathā rādhā priyā viṣṇos
tasyāḥ kuṇḍaṁ priyaṁ tathā
sarva-gopīṣu saivaikā
viṣṇor atyanta-vallabhā

"Just as Srimati Radharani is most dear to Krishna, Her bathing pond is similarly dear. Of all the gopīs, She is the most beloved of the Lord."

She is referred to in many places in the Vedic literatures and her name is also indirectly mentioned as follows in Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.30.28:

nayārādhito nūnaṁ
bhagavān harir īśvaraḥ
yan no vihāya govindaḥ
prīto yām anayad rahaḥ

"Dear friends, the gopī who has been taken away by Krishna to a secluded place must have worshiped the Lord more than anyone else."

The verse begins: nayārādhito nūnaṁ bhagavān Literally this is, "By her the
Supreme Personality of Godhead is indeed worshipped."

The word for word break down of this is:

anayā--by Her; ārādhitaḥ--worshiped;nūnam--indeed;bhagavān--the Supreme Personality of Godhead

In this connection the great Vaisnava acharya, Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur, explains that the word ārādhitaḥ refers to Srimati Radharani. He comments, "The sage Sukadeva Goswami has tried with all endeavor to keep Her name hidden, but now it automatically shines forth from the moon of his mouth. That he has spoken Her name is indeed Her mercy, and thus the word ārādhitaḥ is like the rumbling of a kettledrum sounded to announce Her great good fortune."

Srila Prabhupada also explains:

"The name Radha is derived from this verse (SB 10.30.28), from the words anayārādhitaḥ, meaning 'by Her the Lord is worshiped.' Sometimes the critics of Srimad-Bhagavatam find it difficult to find Radharani's holy name in that book, but the secret is disclosed here in the word ārādhitaḥ, from which the name Radha has come. Of course, the name of Radharani is directly mentioned in other Puranas. This gopi's worship of Krishna is topmost, and therefore Her name is Radha, or the topmost worshiper."
