| About Madhurashtakam
Madhurashtakam is in Sanskrit and is easily understood. Only one word, madhuram, is repeated seven times each in this ashtakam (poem with eight verses)!! The composer of this astakam is Sri Vallabhacharya of about 15th Century AD. It is evident from the ashtakam that the devotee is fascinated to have a look at not only the sarvaanga sundara roopam of Lord Krishna but also the very existence of the Lord ~ by way of His moves, plays, etc. |
