The author and part of the song lyric
is disputed. Many sources identify this
song as `Krsnastakam' by Sri Vallabhacarya,
while other sources identify this song as
`Yugalastakam' by Srila Jiva Goswami.
The third line in each verse differs between
the variations. Other sources say `jIvane
nidhane', which translates to `in life
and in death.' -- kksongs.org
