जय जय श्री बालमुकुंदा । मैं हूं चरण चरण रजबंदा ॥ध्रु०॥ देवकीके घर जन्म लियो जद । छुट परे सब बंदा ॥ च०॥१॥ मथुरा त्यजे हरि गोकुल आये । नाम धरे जदुनंदा ॥ च०॥२॥ जमुनातीरपर कूद परोहै । फनपर नृत्यकरंदा ॥ च०॥३॥ सूरदास प्रभु तुमारे दरशनकु । तुमही आनंदकंदा ॥ च०॥४॥

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.
