\section{Sri Krishnashtakam}
Gayatri

Let us know Gitacharya; let us contemplate on the Friend of
the bhakta; may Krishna lead us on. 

1. Prostrations again and again unto the One whose reality
is the Supreme Atman; Sriman Narayana; Vishnu;  the Complete
Incarnation, Sri Krishna!

2. Prostrations unto Thee, the darling Son of Devaki; fondly
indulged in by Yashoda; Vasudeva, the Lord;  the Delight
of Nanda!

3. Prostrations unto Thee, delightfully sporting with
gopikas; fond of butter; delighting in the song of the flute;
Radhakrishna!

4. Prostrations unto Govinda, Mukunda, who destroyed enemies
like Kamsa; the Delighter of His mother and father; the Lord
of Dwaraka!

5. Prostrations again and again unto the beloved Consort of
Rukmini; the One with golden yellow silk garment; accompanied
by Satyabhama;  the Desire of the virtuous!

6. Prostrations unto the dear Friend of the Pandavas; the
One who protected the honour of Panchali; the One who blessed
Partha; the One who drove the chariot of Partha!

7. Prostrations unto Thee, awakening knowledge by teaching
the Gita; resplendent in the Form of the entire creation;
the Truth, the essence of vedanta; the Music of the vedas/
whose sound is the vedas!

8. Prostrations again and again unto the One protecting the
constantly devoted; the One abiding in the mind (of this one)
always; the One fully the Bliss of the Atman; Sri Krishna!

9. The One sung beautifully by Sri Tyagabrahmam; the One
worshipped by song flowers /by Pushpa with this song;  the One
fully in the mind, speech, expressions, and body (of this one);
auspiciousness unto Sri Krishna! flowers

10. This Krishnashtakam is sacred; inspired by Sri Krishna,
conferring auspiciousness; this auspicious poem, is Pushpa's
worship; brings about the grace of Shri Krishna, conferring
auspiciousness.

11. This offering by Pushpa, the disciple of Sri
Tyagarajaguruswami - Krishnashtakam, the auspicious  stotram -
is replete with the Guru's Presence.

                             Om
                          Mangalam
