By Dr. Baladeva Dasa
I am glad to announce the release of the Vrajaisvarya-kadambini, “A Bank of Rain Clouds Pouring Vraja’s Opulence,” yet another publication of the Baladeva Vidyabhusana Project.
In this remarkably sweet and simple work, composed at the request of Sri Krsnadeva Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya, Sri Vidyabhusana presents an epitome of the tenth canto of the Srimad-Bhagavatam, which is here recounted in the author’s words with many vivid descriptions not found there. It includes accounts based on other Puranas, tantras, and Gaudiya texts.
The text is further enriched by an extensive and thus far unpublished commentary by Vrndavana Tarkalankara Bhattacarya, one of Sarvabhauma’s leading disciples. Named Sudha-sara, “The Essence of the Nectar,” the commentary is true to its name, bringing out many aspects of each verse that would be often overlooked by the average reader, and the explanations are backed up by quotes from the sruti, smrti, lexica, treatises on philosophy, poetics, music, and so on.
This edition includes the original Sanskrit text critically edited based on multiple manuscripts, its Roman transliteration, the original Sanskrit commentary, a Sanskrit gloss, an English translation of all of these, and ample footnotes clarifying technical terminology.
