anayaradhito nunam
bhagavan harir ishvarah
yan no vihaya govindah
prito yam anayad rahah
Srimad Bhagavatam 10.30.28

Translation:
Certainly this particular gopi has perfectly worshipped the all-powerful Personality of Godhead, Govinda, since He was so pleased with Her that He abandoned the rest of us and brought Her to a secluded place.

Commentary: by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti explains that the word aradhitah refers to Srimati Radharani. He comments, "The sage Sukadeva Gosvami 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 aradhitah is like the rumbling of a kettledrum sounded to announce Her great good fortune."
