Vedanta kamadhenu dashashloki

The Vedanta kamadhenu dashashloki () is a Sanskrit hymn by the Hindu philosopher Nimbarkacharya of the Nimbarka Sampradaya tradition.

Soteriology

The style of the "Daśaślokī" is very simple, suited to a devotee who does not want to be bothered with abstract logical theories and hair-splitting wranglings, but wants to have the truth immediately in a nut-shell.

Shlokas

Nimbārka clarifies the characteristics of the individual soul, giving its size and qualities, stating from the very start that it is dependent upon Hari, which is a decidedly Vaiṣṇava view of Brahman.

Commentaries

The Vedānta kāmadhenu Daśaślokī have been extensively commented upon by several scholars. Among them, the three primary commentaries are:

  • Vedāntaratnamañjūṣā of ŚrÄ« Puruá¹£ottamāchārya
  • Vedānta Siddhāntaratnāñjali of ŚrÄ« Harivyāsa Devāchārya
  • Vedāntalaghumañjūṣā of ŚrÄ« Giridhara dāsa
