Bala Mukundashtakam

We do not know who the author of this stotram is. This devotional hymn on Lord Krishna follows the approach of loving him as if he is a baby. Lord Krishna is picturised as if he is sleeping on a leaf of a banyan tree which is floating on the waters. He is holding his feet by his hand and putting his toe in to his mouth. This hymn in its first stanza brings this image of Lord Krishna and then goes on to describe the adventures of this God Child as a baby.
