I worship Sri Radha whose lotus feet are endowed with nineteen great auspicious markings of: on the left foot are eleven markings of an umbrella, disc, flag, vine, flower, bracelet, lotus, upward-line, elephant-goad, half-moon, and barleycorn, and on the right foot are eight markings of the sakti, club, chariot, sacrificial altar, earrings, fish, mountain, and conch-shell.  

Descriptions from Ananda Candrika

 atha vamacaranasya angustha mule yavah tat-tale cakram tat-tale
 chatram tat-tale valayam tarjanyan gustha sanhimarabhya vakra gataya yavad arddha
 carana murdhva rekha madhyama tale kamalam kamakatale dhvajah sapatakah
 kanistha tale 'nkusah parson arddha candrah tad upari valli puspanca ityekadasa
There is a barleycorn below the toe of the left foot of Sri Radhika. Below that is a disc, and below that is an umbrella, below the umbrella is a bracelet, and then there is an upper-line which starts from mid-point between the second toe and the main toe and goes down in a crooked way till it covers half the foot. Below the middle toe is a lotus, and below that is a flag. Below the little toe is an elephant goad. On the heel is a half-moon, and above that is a flower. Thus there are eleven auspicious markings decorating the left foot of Srimati Radharani.  
   atha daksinasya angustha mule sankhah kanisthatale vedi tat-tale
 kundalam tarjani madhya mayos tale parvata parsnau Matsya martsyopari rathah
 tathasya parsvadvayo sakti gade ityastau militva unavimsatih

Below the second and the middle toe is a mountain. On the heel is a fish, and above the fish is a chariot. Thus there are eight markings on the right foot of Srimati Radharani. When combining these eight with those of the left foot, it becomes nineteen auspicious markings. In this way, the nineteen auspicious markings on the feet of Srimati Radharani are eternally remembered.

(from Sri Radha-rasa-sudha-nidhi) 

 alam visaya varta ya naraka koti bibhatsaya
 vrtha sruti kathasramo bata bibhemi kaivalyatah
 paresa bhajanon mada yadi sukadayah tatah kim
 parantu mama radhika pada rase mano majjatu

May my mind always float in the ocean of divine nectar emanating from the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani. No more fear of millions of hells. Studying of the scriptures has become simply troublesome. Merging into the brahman effulgence is terrible. The ecstatic symptoms of devotion to the Lord that are felt by the great devotees like Suka have lost their charms.

 upasya caranambuje vraja bhrtam kisori ganaih
 mahad bhirapi purusair apari bhavya rasotsave
 agadha rasa dhamani svapada Padma seva vidhau
 vidhehi madhuroj jvalam iva krtim mamadhisvari
O Radha! You are my sole Ruler and only shelter. Countless gopis of Vraja swarm around Your lotus feet and worship them wholeheartedly. Your lotus feet are an inexhaustible fountainhead of the quintessence of universal love and are inconceivable to great saints. That is perhaps the reason why great devotees are striving with ever increasing courage and hope to catch the sweetness and beauty of the grace that flows from Your lotus feet. O Queen! Will You be pleased to show me the particular manner in which I should serve Your lotus feet?

 atisnehaduccair api ca hari namani grnatah
 tatha saugandhadyair bahubhi rupa carais ca yajatah
 paranandam vrndavana manu carantam ca dadhato
 mano me radhaya padamrdu lapadme nivasatu
Lotus chanting of the holy name of Lord Hari with love attracts my mind towards Sri Radha's feet. This attraction becomes very strong as soon as the delicious ingredient of Sri Radha's service is added to the chanting. Meditation on blissful Krsna as He roams about in Vrndavana has put me under the shade of the tender feet of kind Sri Radha.

 kamam tulikaya karena harinayalatka kairankita
 nanakeli vidagdha goparmani vrdai tatha vandita
 ya sanguptaya tatha upanisadam hrd yeva vidyo tate
 sa radha carana dvayi mama gatih lasyai kalilamayi
My only shelter is Sri Radhika's lotus feet which I yearn to worship with love and devotion. These lotus feet of Srimati Radhika are painted by Krsna's soft fingers with a feather dipped in the most fragrant red-colored juice. The gopis follow Krsna's example and worship the same feet for the happiness of all living entities. These feet are glorified in the Upanisads, and are found in the depth of the hearts of pure devotees.

 vrndavanesari tavaiva padaravindam
 premamrtaika makaranda rasau gha purnam
 hrdyar apitam madhupate smaratapa mugram
 nirvapayat parama sitala ma srayami
O Vrndavanesvar! O Sri Radhe! I pray for the shelter of Your lotus feet. Your lotus feet are treasure house of nectar of divine love. Syamasundara keeps them safely and dearly in His heart. These feet are the supreme cooling remedy for the blazing fires of this material world.  
 yadi snehad radhe disasi ratilam payata padavi
 gatam me svaprestam tadapi mamnistham srunu yatha
 kataksai raloke smita saha carair jata pulakam
 sama aslisyamyuc cai atha ca rasaye tvatpadarasam
O dear Sri Radha! When out of sheer compassion, and moved by Krsna's overwhelming love for You, will grant Him His prayers to message Your lotus feet? At that time, I shell look at the ecstatic smiling faces of both of You, and so encouraged I shall hug Your feet with my hands, and taste the nectar of Your lotus feet to my full satisfaction.  
 yasya aste bata kinkarisu bahusas catuni vrndatavi
 kandarpah kurute tavaiva kim api prepsuh prasadotsavam
 sadrananda ghananuraga lahari nisyanda padambuja
 dvandve sri vrsabhanu nandini sada vande tava sripadam
O Vrsabhanu-nandini! I bow down to Your lotus feet with great awe and reverence, from which selfless love is ever pouring forth in abundance. In His ceaseless and tireless efforts to win Your grace, Sri Krsna, the God of love of Vrndavana and Supreme Almighty, always solicits the favors of Your servants with love and affection.  
 radhapada saroja bhaktim acalam udviksya niskaitavam
 pritah svam bhajatopi nibhaira maha premnadhikam sarva sah
 alingatyatha cumbati svavadanat tambulam asyer apayet
 kante svam vanamali kamapi mama nyasyet kada mohanah
I know, and it has been confirmed by all reliable authorities that Madana-Mohana Krsna would be so ecstatically delighted to see pure devotion unto Sri Radha's lotus feet that he would descend from His worshipped throne to embrace, kiss, give His chewed betel nuts, and garland to Sri Radhika's devotee. When shall I be blessed with such devotion, getting such treatment from Krsna as my reward for devotion to Radha's lotus feet?
 sat premasindhu makaranda rasau gadhara
 sarana jasramabhitah sravada sritesu
 sri radhike tava kada caranaravindam
 govinda jivana dhanam sirasa vahami
O Radhika! When shall I enjoy the fortune of having my head used by You as Your footstool? Your feet, which are the life-treasure of Govinda, will then be a crown on my head. They will further bathe my head with a pure nectarine flood of love that always flows among Your devotees.
