Namartha-sudha Release
By Dr. Demian Martins
I am glad to announce the release of another publication of the Baladeva Vidyabhusana Project— the commentary on the Visnu-sahasra-nama entitled Namartha-sudha, “the nectar of the meanings of the Holy Names.” Sri Vidyabhusana made this an original and unprecedented work in many respects, managing to extract a Gaudiya flavour out of the text in a unique way. Instead of the common trend shown by other authors in interpreting the names in connection with Lord Narayana, here a large number of names has been attributed to Lord Krsna. The whole text has been divided by Vidyabhusana into sections of names attributed to various avataras and their respective pastimes.
The inaccuracy of the available manuscripts posed several difficulties to establish the original readings, which could be ascertained only after extensive research through reference texts used by the author and a meticulous comparative study of various manuscript versions. This edition includes the original Sanskrit text critically edited on the basis of multiple manuscripts, a complete English translation, exhaustive footnotes, an alphabetical index of names, and a foreword by HH Bhakti Vikasa Swami.
