"So this janma (birthday) is today and Radha, this name is sometimes not found in Bhagavata. So the atheistic class of men protest this, Radharani's name is not in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. How this name came, Radharani? But they do not know how to see it. There is [the word] anayaradhyate. There are many gopis, but there is mention that by this particular gopi He [Krishna] is served more pleasingly. Krishna accepts this gopi's service more gladly. Anayaradhyate. Aradhyate. This aradhate, this word, aradhyate means worshiping. From this word aradhyate, Radha has come. But Radha's name are there in other Puranas. So this is the origin."
