Abstract

The article The Five Essential Verses of Gīta-govinda by Jan L. Brzezinski identifies key verses that distill the emotional and theological heart of Jayadeva’s composition. Drawing from Rūpa Goswāmī’s Ujjvala-nīlamaṇi, Brzezinski highlights their role in Gauḍīya theology, focusing on the themes of rāgānugā-bhakti and madhura-rasa.
