The Krishna poetry of Surdas is universally regarded as a high point in Hindi literature; and the so-called 'Bhramargit' are among the finest of Sur's creations.

These songs were composed in the Braj Bhasha dialect, traditionally regarded as "Krishna's own language". Though nearly five centuries have passed since the poet's own lifetime, Sur's songs continue to be a popular part of the cultural heritage of North India. This recording by Shri Purshotamdas Jalota is thus part of an unbroken tradition of great antiquity.
