Madhurashtakam written by Vallabhacharya sees sweetness in his lord inch by inch. This
Translation into verse has taken the liberty of adding the name of the Lord, here and there,
so that the meaning is very clear and the translation becomes a verse.
Mahaprabhu Srimad Vallabhacharya (1479-1531) is one of the greatest sage - philosophers
of India, who belonged to a Telugu family. He is one of the foremost followers of Bhakti
Marga and established his philosophy of Pushti Marga in North India during the 16th
century. His Bhakti was much more than devotion. It was becoming mad in the thought of
God. According to him the devotee does not see anything except his Lord everywhere.
