அதரம் மதுரம் வதனம் மதுரம்-Adharam Madhuram, Vadanam Madhram

அதரம் மதுரம் வதனம் மதுரம் 
Mahaprabhu Srimad Vallabhacharya (1479-1531) is one of the greatest sage- philosophers of India, who belonged to a Telugu family, was one of the foremost followers of Bhakthi Marga and established his philosophy of Pushti Marga in North India during the 16th century. His Bhakthi 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. Madhurashtakam written by him sees sweetness in his lord inch by inch. This translation in to 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.
The song is sung by the music Queen Dr M.S.Subbalakshmi and also K.J.Jesudas..
