Muddugāre Yasodā
Rāgam - Kurinji
Tālam - Ādi


This composition of Annamayya equates Krishna to the nine precious gems.

He is a Pearl (Muthyam) to the affectionate Yashoda and the son of the unparalleled Devaki.

He is Ruby (Mānikyam) in the hands of Gopikas and He is the Diamond (Vajram) who defeated Kamsa. In the whole of the three worlds, He is the lustrous Emerald (Garuda Pachha); He is none other than our little Krishna!

To love struck Rukmini, He is the Coral (Pagadam) of her lips and He is the Hassonite (Gomédhikam) that lifted the Govardhana mountain. He is the precious Cat's eye (Vaidooryam) that eternally stands between Shanka and Chakra; Behold! He is the lotus- eyed one who protects those who seek refuge.

He is the Yellow Sapphire (Pushyarāgam) who conquered snake Kalinga, He is the Blue Sapphire (Indraneela) ruling us in the Venkata hills. In the mighty milky ocean, He is the unparalleled celestial gem; here He is, Padmanabha, moving around like a little boy!
