Lord Krishna

catuḥ ślokī stotram (śrīmadvallabhācārya viracitam)

(Chatusloki Stotram in English (IAST))

Vallabhacharya

Also known as Chatuhshloki Stotram · Chatusloki of Vallabhacharya · chatushloki vallabhacharya

Four verses by Vallabhacharya that set out the whole of his teaching on surrender. The lord of Vraja is to be worshipped always and with the whole of one's being; this alone is one's own dharma, and there is no other anywhere, ever. So it should always be done — he himself will accomplish the rest, for the Lord is capable of everything; therefore go to freedom from anxiety. And if the master of Gokula is held in the heart with the whole self, then tell me, says the third verse, what more is there — by worldly means or by Vedic ones. Recited daily in the Pushtimarg tradition.

evaṃ sadā sma kartavyaṃ svayameva kariṣyati |
prabhuḥ sarvasamartho hi tato niścintatāṃ vrajet || 2 ||
yadi śrīgokulādhīśo dhṛtaḥ sarvātmanā hṛdi |
tataḥ kimaparaṃ brūhi laukikairvaidikairapi || 3 ||
ataḥ sarvātmanā śaśvadgokuleśvarapādayoḥ |
smaraṇaṃ bhajanaṃ cāpi na tyājyamiti me matiḥ || 4 ||
|| iti śrīmadvallabhācārya viracitaṃ catuḥ ślokī stotram sampūrṇam ||
