Krishnashtakam
by Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya
भजे व्रजैक मण्डनम्, समस्त पाप खण्डनम्,
स्वभक्त चित्त रञ्जनम्, सदैव नन्द नन्दनम्,
सुपिन्छ गुच्छ मस्तकम् , सुनाद वेणु हस्तकम् ,
मनोज गर्व मोचनम् विशाल लोल लोचनम्,
विधूत गोप शोचनम् नमामि पद्म लोचनम्,
करारविन्द भूधरम् स्मितावलोक सुन्दरम्,
महेन्द्र मान दारणम्, नमामि कृष्ण वारणम्. २
कदम्ब सून कुण्डलम् सुचारु गण्ड मण्डलम्,
व्रजान्गनैक वल्लभम नमामि कृष्ण दुर्लभम.
यशोदया समोदया सगोपया सनन्दया,
युतम सुखैक दायकम् नमामि गोप नायकम्. ३
सदैव पाद पङ्कजम मदीय मानसे निजम्,
दधानमुत्तमालकम् , नमामि नन्द बालकम्,
समस्त दोष शोषणम्, समस्त लोक पोषणम्,
समस्त गोप मानसम्, नमामि नन्द लालसम्. ४
भुवो भरावतारकम् भवाब्दि कर्ण धारकम्,
यशोमती किशोरकम्, नमामि चित्त चोरकम्.
दृगन्त कान्त भङ्गिनम् , सदा सदालसंगिनम्,
दिने दिने नवम् नवम् नमामि नन्द संभवम्. ५
गुणाकरम् सुखाकरम् क्रुपाकरम् कृपापरम् ,
सुरद्विषन्निकन्दनम् , नमामि गोप नन्दनम्.
नवीनगोप नागरम नवीन केलि लम्पटम् ,
नमामि मेघ सुन्दरम् तथित प्रभालसथ्पतम्. ६
समस्त गोप नन्दनम् , ह्रुदम्बुजैक मोदनम्,
नमामि कुञ्ज मध्यगम्, प्रसन्न भानु शोभनम्.
निकामकामदायकम् दृगन्त चारु सायकम्,
रसालवेनु गायकम, नमामि कुञ्ज नायकम्. ७
विदग्ध गोपिका मनो मनोज्ञा तल्पशायिनम्,
नमामि कुञ्ज कानने प्रवृद्ध वह्नि पायिनम्.
किशोरकान्ति रञ्जितम, द्रुगन्जनम् सुशोभितम,
गजेन्द्र मोक्ष कारिणम, नमामि श्रीविहारिणम . ८
यथा तथा यथा तथा तदैव कृष्ण सत्कथा ,
मया सदैव गीयताम् तथा कृपा विधीयताम.
प्रमानिकाश्टकद्वयम् जपत्यधीत्य यः पुमान ,
भवेत् स नन्द नन्दने भवे भवे सुभक्तिमान ९
Look At the two different sanskrit style of writing. So does the bhajan changes its course of singing. The words are same but style of singing is changing. Sanskrit scholars will understand. I found this different style of writing in two different books. So I put both the style here for singing the hymns in different styles. One single mistake or change in writing the sanskrit hymns changes the course of recitation and singing.

Translation
1) Eternally I worship Lord Krsna, who is Nanda's son, who is Vraja's sole ornament, who breaks all sins into pieces, and who delights the devotees' hearts. I offer my respectful obeisances to the hero Lord Krsna, whose head is decorated with peacock feathers, whose hand holds a melodious flute, and who is an ocean of Kamadeva's pastimes.
2) I offer my respectful obeisances to lotus-eyed Lord Krsna, who frees Kamadeva of his pride, whose large eyes are very restless, and who shakes away the gopas' sadness. I offer my respectful obeisances to dark Lord Krsna, whose lotus hand lifted Govardhana Hill, whose smiling glance is charming, and who ripped Indra's pride into shreds.
3) I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who is difficult to attain, who wears a kadamba-flower earring, the circle of whose cheeks is very charming, and who is the only beloved of Vraja's girls. I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who is a playful cowherd boy, and who, in the company of Yasoda, Nanda, and the gopa people, enjoys pastimes that delight them all.
4) I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who is Nanda's small boy, and who eternally places His kunkuma-anointed lotus-feet in my heart. I offer my respectful obeisances to cheerful Lord Krsna, who dries up all faults, makes all worlds prosper, and stays in the thoughts of all the gopa people.
5) I offer my respectful obeisances to the milk-thief Lord Krsna, who removed the earth's burden, who is the captain of the ship to cross the ocean of birth and death, and who is Yasoda's teenage son. I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who is Nanda's son, who casts crooked glances from the corners of His eyes, who always stays with the gopis, and who day after day enjoys newer and newer pastimes.
6) I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who is a jewel-mine of transcendental qualities, a jewel-mine of transcendental bliss, a jewel-mine of mercy, who defeats the demigods' enemies, and who delights the cowherd people. I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who is a young hero of the cowherd people, who is a playful young rake, who is handsome and dark like a monsoon cloud, and whose yellow garments glisten like lightning.
7) I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who delights all the cowherd people, who charms the devotees' lotus-hearts, who stays in forest groves, and who is splendid like a glistening sun. I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who fulfills all desires, whose sidelong glances are charming arrows, whose flute music is nectar, and who is the amorous hero of the forest groves.
8) I offer my respectful obeisances to Lord Krsna, who reclines on the charming couch of the wise gopis' hearts, and who drank up a forest fire in Munjatavi forest. I pray that whenever and however I sing His glories, Lord Krsna will be merciful to me.
9) I pray that whoever reads or recites these eight prayers will be fervently devoted to Nanda's son, devoted birth after birth.
