I would like the complete meaning for Narayana Theertha's composition: Alokaye Sri Bala Krishna, Ananda Sundara Tandava Krishna. I know 90% of the meaning, but would like to confirm it with an authority on carnatic music. Please help. Thank you.

  Thanks Lakshman. Do you have lyrics of Geetam No 50 of Krishna Leela Tharangani. Geetham 51 is Shanke Shankam Sharadasamayam. I need the lyrics for the previous one as that page is not there in the old book i have.

  P:
  O friend. Behold the child Krishna whose dance is blissful & ,beautiful
  C1:
  (Behold) Him that steals butter and curds, and snaps the bonds that bins his devotees to worldly existence.
  C2:
  (Behold) Him that is of the hue of the rain-cloud, the eternal essence of pure knowledge
  C3:
  (Behold) Him whose feet has anklets that make sweet sounds and whose hands have the golden bracelet
  C4:
  (Behold) Him one who wears a resplendent emerald-stud that shines and the one who is like the pearl amidst a string of stars
  C5:
  (Behold) Him whose nose-ornament shines,Him the son of NandaGopa,The one who has an infinite forms.

  c6:
  C6:
  (Behold) Him that wears the kausthuba jewel around his neck.
  Him who is like the sun that removes the veil of darkness that is the difficulty of Kaliyuga
  C7:
  (Behold) Him who produces the enchanting nada of the flute.Him
  that has the history of being praised by yogis.
  C8:
  (Behold) Him who protects the herds of calves,Him who plays like a child with the cowherdesses
  C9:
  (Behold) Him who was revered by Nanda and Sunanda,Him who blest Narayana tirtha
  
  The last line means Nanda - Nandagopa and Sunanda - which is the name of one of the wives of Krsna.Corrections/additions welcome

  Supa: I need to know the beginning words of the song in order for me to trace it. Song # 50 does tell me very much since I don't have the book .

  Lakshman Sir, I believe Supa is paramapurusham anuyaama (kedaragaula).
