Commentaries:

-------------

Locana-rocani, commentary on Ujjvala-nilamani by Jiva Goswami;

Durgamasanga-mani, commentary on BRS by Jiva Goswami;

Ananda-candrika, by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura on Ujjvala Nilamani;

Bhaktisara-pradarsani, by Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur on BRS;

Artha-patnalpadika, a tika on BRS by Mukunda dasa Goswami, a disciple of

Krsnadasa Kaviraja;

Two tikas on Rupa Gosvami's Vidagdha-madhava and Lalita-madhava by

Visvanatha Cakrvarti.

 

Some scholars argue that the tika on Lalita-madhava and Vidagdha-madhava

were not works of Visvanatha. They say that Krsnadeva Sarvabhauma, a

disciple of Visvanatha, was the writer of the Vidagdhamadhava-tika,

while Radhakrsna dasa, a disciple of Jiva Gosvami wrote the tika of

Lalitamadhava.

 

It is also said there is a tika on Vidagdha-madhava written by Krsnadeva

Sarvabhauma, a disciple of Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur.
