Download Ujjvala-nilamani part 2

Chapter 8
This chapter is called Sakhi-prakaranam. The importance of the sakhi for the Gaudiya Vaishnava approach is reflected in the elaborate treatment given here, far in excess of what is customarily found in the natya literature. Vishnu Das has added a great amount of material from other Gaudiya sahitya--and could probably have found much more.

Chapter 9
Harivallabhā-prakaraṇam

Chapter 10
Uddīpana-vibhāva-bheda-prakaraṇam.


Chapter 11
Anubhava-prakaranam.

Chapter 12
Sāttvika-prakaraṇam.


Chapter 13
Vyabhicāri-prakaraṇam. This is the third longest chapter in the Ujjvala-nilamani. Only chapters 14 and 15, which make up about one-third of the volume, are larger.

Two texts have been used in making this edition. One is the Nirnaya-sagara edition, reprinted by Chowkhamba in 1985. This is the source for Jiva's and Visvanatha's commentaries (Locana-rocani and Ananda-candrika, respectively).

The other is the second edition of Haridas Das's edition in Bengali script, edited by Kanailal Adhikari in 1979, which is the source of Visnudasa's Svatama-prabodhini commentary.
