Garbha Stotra (Prayers to Kṛṣṇa in the Womb)

commentary by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

translated by Swami Bhaktivijñāna Giri

In 1870, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura wrote a commentary to the Garbha Stotra of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (10.2.26-40) wherein the Demigods offer prayers to Kṛṣṇa in the womb of Devakī. His commentary, the Sambandha Tattva Candrikā (‘That Moon which Reveals the Reality of One’s Relationship with the Lord’) was based upon that of the famous Vaiṣṇava commentator, Śrī Śrīdhara Svāmī.
