!! श्री मधुराष्टकं !! : Shri Madurasthakam

मधुराष्टकं की रचना महान वैश्न्वाचार्य श्री वल्लभाचार्यजी ने की थी। यह एक अत्यन्त सुंदर स्तोत्र है जिसमें मधुरापति भगवान् श्री श्यामसुन्दर के सरस और सर्वांग सुंदर रूप और भावों का वर्णन है। मधुराष्टकं मूल रूप से संस्कृत में रचित है।

मधुराष्टकं में आठ पद हैं और हर पद में मधुरं शब्द का सात बार प्रयोग किया गया है। ऐसा स्वाभाविक भी है क्योंकि श्री श्यामसुन्दर साक्षात् माधुर्य और मधुरापति हैं। किसी भक्त ने कहा है कि यदि मेरे समक्ष अमृत और श्री श्यामसुन्दर  का माधुर्य रूप हो तो मैं श्री श्यामसुन्दर  का माधुर्य रूप ही चाहूँगा क्योंकि अमृत तो एक बार पान करने से समाप्त हो जाएगा लेकिन भगवान् का माधुर्य रूप तो निरंतर बढ़ता ही जाएगा। भगवान् के माधुर्य रूप की ऐसी महिमा है। प्रस्तुत है, श्री वल्लभाचार्यजी कृत श्री मधुराष्टकं:
