This is for the first time that the complete SurSagar has been
published with a Hindi translation and scholarly commentary.

It has the most authentic mula text, impeccably researched and
an exhaustive critical commentary.

Each Volume has 1100 padas.

The first two Volumes contain the works of the Ashtachapi
Surdas, Surdas Sarasvat, disciple of Mahaprabhu Vallabhacarya.
He is said to be blind by birth, born at Sihi in 1478 CE. He lived
at Parasauli and performed bhajans & kirtans at the Shrinath
temple at Govardhan Giri. His devotional poetry was known as
SurSagar. His padas centre around Lord Krishna's life. This is
why his SurSagar is known as the Krishna Lilatmak SurSagar.

The next three Volumes contain the 12 part SurSagar, aka the
Dvadasha Skandha SurSagar. This was composed by the Surdas
who was from the family of Candabardai. He was a singer in
Emperor Akbar's court. He was also said to be blind. He was
born in 1533 CE. Like his earlier namesake, he too was initiated
into the Vallabhacarya sect by none other than the grandson of
Vallabhacarya himself.
