Bala Mukundashtakam by Rama Devi

karāravindena padāravindaṁ  mukhāravinde viniveśayantam । vaṭasya patrasya puṭe śayānaṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥1॥ The one who keeps his lotus like feet on his lotus like mouth with his lotus like hand, I think of Balamukundan who sleeps on the vata pathra leaf. (1) saṁhṛtya lokān vaṭapatra madhye  śayānamādyanta vihīnarūpam । sarveśvaraṁ sarvahitāvatāraṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥2॥ The one who sleeps on the vata pathra after the dissolution of the worlds, the one whose form is without beginning or end, the one who is Lord of all, I think of Balamukundan who incarnated for the good of all. (2) Indīvara śyāmala komalāṅgaṁ  indrādi devārcita pādapadmam । santāna kalpadrumam āśritānāṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥3॥ The one who has a beautiful body that is dark like the cerulean blue lotus, the one whose lotus feet is worshipped by Indra and other devas, I think of Balamukundan who is like the kalpaka vriksha tree giving santhana-bagyam to those who bow to Him. (3) lambālakaṁ lambita hārayaṣṭiṁ  śṛṅgāra līlāṅkita dantapaṅktim । bimbādharaṁ cāruviśālanetraṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥4॥ The one who has locks of hair falling in front of his face, the one who wears a long hanging chain, the one whose teeth rows shine with the nectar of shringaram, the one whose lips are like the red bimba fruit (kovai), I think of Balamukundan who has long and beautiful eyes. (4) śikye nidhāyādya payodadhīni  bahirgatāyāṁ vrajanāyikāyām । bhuktvā yatheṣṭaṁ kapaṭena suptaṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥5॥ The time when Yashoda has gone out after keeping milk, curds in the pot, the one who sleeps falsely after eating all this, I think of this Balamukundan. (5) Kalindajānta sthitakāliyasya  phaṇāgraraṅge naṭanapriyantam । tatpucchahastaṁ śaradinduvaktraṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥6॥ From the rock of Kalindhi, the one who has the desire of dancing on the hoods of the snake kaliyan, the one who has the tip of the tail of kaliyan in his hand, the one whose face is like the moon during sarathrithu (december month), I think of this Balamukundan. (6) ulūkhale baddha mudāraśauryaṁ  uttuṅga yugmārjuna bhaṅgalīlam । utphulla padmāyata cārunetraṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥7॥ The one who is tied to a round boulder, the one who is great, the one who has the playfullness of pushing two Maruthamaram (Arjuna-Trees) to the ground, the one who has eyes like a bloomed red lotus, I think of this Balamukundan. (7) ālokya mātur mukhamādareṇa  stanyaṁ pibantaṁ sarasī ruhākṣam । saccinmayaṁ devamananta rūpaṁ  bālaṁ mukundaṁ manasā smarāmi ॥8॥ The one who looks affectionately at the mother's face while sucking milk from her breasts, the one who has eyes like the red lotus, the one whose form is Truth, Intelligence and the one who has other forms and is a Lord, I think of this Balamukundan. (8) ＬＩＫＥ | ＣＯＭＭＥＮＴ | ＳＨＡＲＥ | ＳＵＢＳＣＲＩＢＥ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Website : http://ift.tt/1oJekp9 ** Facebook : http://ift.tt/2iTcKJw ** Twitter : https://twitter.com/idtsevaks ** Soundcloud : http://ift.tt/2jNc3A3 ** Donate : http://ift.tt/2tqvoKG __ ISKCON Desire Tree started in year 2002 ,With purpose of spreading Krishna Consciousness movement Worldwide which is now grown as online community devoted to give a warm and friendly environment for all people interested in spirituality, compassion, meditation and wisdom.
