मेरी माई, हठी बालगोबिन्दा। अपने कर गहि गगन बतावत, खेलन कों मांगै चंदा॥ बासन के जल धर्यौ, जसोदा हरि कों आनि दिखावै। रुदन करत ढ़ूढ़ै नहिं पावत,धरनि चंद क्यों आवै॥ दूध दही पकवान मिठाई, जो कछु मांगु मेरे छौना। भौंरा चकरी लाल पाट कौ, लेडुवा मांगु खिलौना॥ जोइ जोइ मांगु सोइ-सोइ दूंगी, बिरुझै क्यों नंद नंदा। सूरदास, बलि जाइ जसोमति मति मांगे यह चंदा॥

Vasudev Crossing the Yamuna with Baby Krishna
This sacred image depicts a pivotal moment in the Bhagavata Purana, where the father Vasudev carries the divine infant Krishna across the storm tossed Yamuna river to safety. Shielded by the multi headed serpent Shesha, the child radiates a luminous glow that pierces the dark of the night. This work embodies the deep devotion of the era, where lithographic prints brought the tales of the divine into the living spaces of countless families, fostering a personal connection with the deity through art that serves as a conduit for grace and protection.
