शैलजा मिश्र, जिला-रीवा, मध्यप्रदेश से एक भक्ति गीत सुना रही हैं:
अस्तुतम केशवम कृष्ण दामोदरम-
राम नारायण जानकी बल्लाभम-
कौन कहता है कि भगवान आते नहीं-
तुम मीरा के जैसे बुलाते नहीं-
कौन कहता है कि भगवान खाते नहीं-
तुम शबरी के जैसे खिलाते नहीं-
कौन कहता है कि भगवान सोते नहीं-
तुम यशोदा के जैसे सुलाते नहीं-
अस्तुतम केशवम कृष्ण...

राम जन्म में दूध मिले और कृष्ण जन्म में घी-
कलयुग में दारु मिले कि सोच-समझ कर पी-
त्रेता में सुग्रीव के कारण बलि ने मारे बाण...
