Madhurashtakam, Adharam Madhuram

Here the poet, Vallabha, is playing on the double meaning of the word
Madhura. Madhura is the place of Lord Krishna and it means sweet also !


Adharam Madhuram Vadanam Madhuram Nayanam Madhuram Hasitam Madhuram |
Hrdayam Madhuram Gamanam Madhuram Madhura-Adhipater-Akhilam Madhuram ||1||

Sweet are Thy Lips
And thy face too
Glorious Thine eyes
Also Thy Smile
Thy Heart, Thy going
Sweet indeed are They
O Lord of Madhura !
