He is known for his Sur Sagar (Ocean of Melody) that is said to originally contain 100,000 verses of which only 8,000 have survived. These songs on the life and adventures of Lord Krishna were dictated by him to an assistant and are endowed with an inner vision that reflects the passion and dedication with which Surdas revered his lord. His loving description of Krishna’s life is sung very fondly even today in the form of Krishna Bhajans.
