  • The Madhurāṣṭakam (Sanskrit: मधुराष्टकम्), also spelt as Madhurashtakam, is a Sanskrit octet in devotion of Lord Krishna, composed by the Hindu Bhakti saint Sri Vallabhacharya. Sri Vallabhacharya was a Telugu Brahmin who propagated Pushtimarg, which emphasizes on the unconditional bhakti and seva of Krishna. According to ancient texts and accounts when Sri Krishna himself appeared in front of Vallabhacharya, on midnight of Sravana Sukla Ekadasi, Vallabhacharya composed the Madhurashtakam in praise of the lord. He created many other literary pieces including the Vyasa Sutra Bhashya, Jaimini Sutra Bhasya, Bhagavata Subodhini Tika, Pushti Pravala Maryada and Siddhanta Rahasya etc. in Sanskrit. The devotional hymn "Madhurāṣṭakam" of Sri Vallabhacarya was created to lead the devotee in Pustimarga, the Path of Grace, which involves a constant love-filled devotion to Krishna by various acts of homage, such as singing (kirtana), remembering (smarana), conceptualising and beholding (darshana) a beatific image of the deity and offering of services (seva). These acts enable the devotee to enter into the divine presence of Sri Krishna and to experience the Lord's real essence (svarupa) which are in fact, succinctly laid down by the Madhurāṣṭakam. Hence, Madhurāṣṭakam plays an instrumental role in the realisation of the Lord. (en)
