Though the Radha-vallabha sampradaya has around 40 different commentaries of the Radha-sudha-nidhi, most are in Braj or modern Hindi. This one by Harilal Vyasa is the only one in Sanskrit and probably the most influential in the tradition.

The previous edition on-line contained only a few verses. The entire work has two volumes, which are now both complete and posted here. Vol. II contains verses 136-270.

Harilal Vyasa's commentary was published in two volumes, the second. (ed.) Baba Kishori Sharan. Vrindavan : Shyama Kunj, 2033 Vikrama (=1977).

There has been a long-standing debate between Gaudiyas and Radhavallabhīs about the authorship of this work. It is our conviction that the work was originally composed by Prabodhānanada Sarasvatī but was offered by him to his friend Hita Harivaṁśa Gosvāmī.
It became one of the most prominent books of Radha-vallabhis and they came to believe that it was written by Hita Harivaṁśa Gosvāmī.
