Rocking their little ones to sleep in their cradle, “Oh Govinda, Oh Damodhara and Oh Madhava.” Sing “Oh Govinda, Oh Damodara and Oh Madhava.”Ī lotus beauty instructed a playful parrot, Hey Kesava, Hey Lord of the world, save me,Ĭried, “Oh Govinda, Oh Damodara and Oh Madhava.” Hey Lord who killed the asura called Mura, Hey Krishna, Hey Vishnu who killed Madhu and Kaidabha, Govinda He who lifted the earth(Go) Or He who is the chief of cows Damodhara He who is known by knowledge got by self restraint Or He who was tied by Yasodha in the stomach Or He who keeps in his belly the world called Dhama Madhava He who was born in the family of Madhu Sri Krishna Vishno Madhu Kaitabhare,
One of the stanzas is from Bhagwatham and few resemble the verses of Mukunda mala.ĭushasana dragged her by her cloths and hair,Ĭalled “Oh Govinda, Oh Damodhara,Oh Madhava.” He pictures all the devotees of Lord Krishna, sharing his ecstasy and so deeply drunk by these names, that they do not talk of anything else under all circumstances that they are in. The Govinda-Damodhara Stotram is the ecstasic outpouring of pure unalloyed Bhakti to Lord Krishna. Taking in to account the fact, that he is a part of large number of folk tales of Kerala (Bilwamangalathu Swamiyar), His verse from Sri Krishna Karnamrutha is the first verse of the very popular Bala Mukundashtakam which is recited in Kerala and also the fact, that he refers to wearing of tiger claw (A practice in Kerala) by the young Krishna in several places. Some people believe that he was from Andhra Pradesh. There is a general agreement that he belongs to South India, visited Dwaraka and later visited Brindavan and attained Samadhi there. His greatest work of course is Sri Krishna Karnamritha, Nothing much is known about the period in which, this great sage lived. This Stotra has been composed by Sage Bilvamangala, who is also known as Lila Sukha.
