Srikrishna Ashtakam – Sri Paramahamsa Bhramanandha - Lyrics and meaning



|| Jai Sriman Narayana ||










I shall prostrate before Lord of Radhika, he is wielded in various weapons like Hala, he is eulogized by Lord Bhrama and deities, he is pure, he has  Sathvik nature, I shall prostrte before Lord of Radhika who is the destroyer of demon Bakasura,  he is the protector of cowherds and young maidens of Vraja, he is charming, he  represents ornament on Earth/fragrance on Earth, I shall prostrate before Lord of Radhika who  crushed the pride of Surendra/Lord Indhra, and Virinchi/Lord Bhrama, he is the source of happiness of young maidens of cowherds of Vraja, I shall prostrate before Lord of Radhika who is  beautifully decked in feathers of peacock on his attractive curly hair locks, he crushed the pride of elephant Kuvalayapeedam and broken it tusk into pieces, he acted brutal as well mischevious to punish the wicked people, I shall prostrate before Lord of Radhika who is personified as Vipra/Vamana, he provided abundance of wealth and prosperity to Sudhama, he has stolen  Devadharu pine from heaven, I shall prostrate before Lord of Radhika who wholeheartedly supported Dhanajjaya to attain triumph over the Kauravas, he destroyed the demon Thrinavarththa, he removed the grief of Bhishmapithamaha who was lying on bed of arrows by providing salvation, I shall prostrate before Lord of Radhika, who caused  complete annihilation of Yadhu clan  from the curse of illustrious Rishis in order to reduce the burden of Earth, I shall prostrate before Lord of Radhika who rested under the shade of peepal tree and attained moksha from the hands of a hunter who was mistakenly shot arrow on his foot, ultimately returned to his supreme abode of Sri Vaikundham.  Whoever reads or listens to the glorious verses praising the splendor of Lord of Radhika would be relieved from repeated births and sufferings of aging.
