Hello,
I have been trying to get the meaning of the kriti by Narayana theerthar in Neelambari ragam: Madhava mamava deva krishna for my daughter's dance teacher who wants to choreograph the steps to this song.

sArvabhauma usually indicates a King or Ruler. Literally it means 'of the whole earth'.
Krishna as is well known was born on a half-moon night (ashTami tithi, 8th day of the waning phase, or last quarter moon)
cheers
