Could you please give a little more detail for your question? I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.

Hare Krishna Uttamasloka Prabhu,
Thank you for the response.
we understand that there are 3 categories of Sakhis in Srimati Radharani's swapaksha group.
1. Krishna Snehadhika
2. Sama Snehadhika
3. Radha Snehadhika (Manjari)
my question is about Srimati Vrinda Devi. We understand that She is not Radha Snehadhika (Manjari), so is she sama sneha or Krishna Snehadhika sakhi?
is there anywhere mentioned in Govind Lilamrit or any other scripture by our acharya revealing this aspect of Srimati Vrinda Devi?
or can we infer from her role in Lila whether she is Krishna snehadhika?
thank in advance.

Thanks for those details. Vrnda Devi is not part of Radha's group, so she doesn't fall under those categories. She makes arrangements for all the madhurya-rasa lilas, not just for Radha.

Hare Krishna Uttamasloka Prabhu,
Thank you for the response.
oh i had thought otherwise , thanks for clarifying.
how can we understand tulasi arti where we pray
seva-adhikara diye koro nija dasi
here we pray to make us Tulasi devi's dasi, so how to understand this considering we as gaudiya want to follow either priya sakhi bhav or manjari bhav of Srimati Radha's group in madhurya?
thank in advance.

The Tulasi prayer is just asking for her mercy and blessings. It is not that we are specifically following Tulasi as our chosen Vraja-vasi.
