The Vedas and smrti-sastra (such as Srimad-Bhagavatam) which follow the Vedic version have been accepted as authoritative proof, as have different types of evidence such as direct perception, inasmuch as they confirm the Vedic version. From these sources of evidence, the following essential truths are established: (1) Hari is the Supreme Truth. (2) He is sarva-saktiman, possessed of all potencies. (3) He is akhila rasamrta-sindhu, the ocean of all nectarean transcendental mellows. (4) Two kinds of jivas, namely mukta and baddha (liberated and conditioned) are His separated expansions (vibhinnamsa-tattva). (5) The conditioned souls are under the control of maya. (6) The mukta-jivas are liberated from the influence of maya. (7) Everything in existence, whether conscious or un-conscious, is a manifestation of Sri Hari and is simultaneously and inconceivably one with Him and different from Him. (8) Bhakti is the only sadhana (means to attain the goal). (9) Love for Krsna (prema) is the only objective (sadhya). Svayam Bhagavan Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has given instructions on ten types of tattva to the faithful jivas. Of these, the first is the principle of evidence (pramana-tattva), and the remaining nine are prameya-tattva, the subject which is established by pramana-tattva.
