Madana Mohanashtakam
(The octer of pretty bewitcher-Krishna)
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(My friend Sri Shivam Perinkulam in his blog says
“Madana mohanastakam’ is really ‘mohanam’, a
lovely prayer song. You can sing the melody and forget yourself, forget the
world around, while at home or in a lonely forest or under a moonlit sky or in
the pouring rain.
In the ‘karaavalamba stotram’, we seek
Narasimha’s hands for our rescue, whereas in Madana Mohanashtakam, we
seek Sree Krishna’s feet. The eight slokas are simple, sincere and a heart -to
heart appeal to the Divinity.”
But since
the word used is Padha , it could mean also “position” and I have preferred to give both meaning.
