[[Comment_en]]
    Composed in 8 stanza’s Madhurashtakam explains about the appearance, qualities, symbols and motifs related to the life of Lord Krishna saying that everything related to Lord Krishna is sweet and he is the lord of sweetness.
    Madhurashtakam is a popular devotional song composed by Srimad Vallabhacharya, an Indian philosopher who propounded the Shuddha-advaita philosophy.
    Shudda-advaita ('pure non-dualism') is the "purely non-dual" philosophy propounded by Vallabhacharya (1479-1531 CE), the founding philosopher and guru of the Vallabhā sampradāya (“tradition of Vallabha”) or Puśtimārg (“The path of grace”), a Hindu Vaishnava tradition focused on the worship of Krishna. Vallabhacharya's pure form (nondualist) philosophy is different from Advaita. The Shrinathji temple at Nathdwara, and compositions of eight poets (aṣṭachap), including Surdas, are central to the worship by the followers of the sect.
[[Comment_cn]]
    “Madhura”，甜蜜、幸福之主 (the lord of sweetness) ——我主 “Sri Krishna”，关于你的一切（外貌、品质、象征和主旨）都是甜蜜的。这是人们对最高之主——“Sri Krishna” 的赞美之词，“Madhurashtakam” 就是关于“甜蜜之主”的赞美诗。
    这首诗的作者是 “Srimad Vallabhacharya”，他是一位印度哲学家 ，生活于 1479-1531年。他提出了 “Shudda-advaita”（纯非二元论）哲学思想，并创立了 “Vallabhā sampradāya” 宗派，即印度教的 “Vallabha 宗派”。该宗派属于“毗湿奴教派”的一个分支，其特点就是专门敬拜 “Krishna”。
