Book Description
Bhagavat Sandarbha is the second Sandarbha. After showing in Tattva Sandarbha that the principal proof among all scriptures is Bhāgavatam, Jīva Gosvāmī also indicated that the subject presented in Bhāgavatam is Bhagavān. This Sandarbha commences to describe Bhagavān, distinguishing him from Brahman and Paramātmā. Since Brahman is merely an incomplete realization of Bhagavān, a separate Sandarbha is not need to describe it. Paramātmā, however, having special functions related to creation of the material world and manifestation of the jīva, is described in the next Sandarbha.

Book Description
The Sandarbhas are one of Jīva Gosvāmī's major works. Sandarbha literally means "stringing together." Baladeva explains, "The wise say a Sandarbha is that which possesses various matters of importance which should be known. Bhāgavatam verses are gathered together (sandṛbhyate)."In this case, it is a literary composition consisting of a series of prose sections mixed with verse mainly from Bhāgavatam. It is in six parts which explain Gauḍiya epistemology, theology and philosophy. Tattva Sandarbha deals with the epistemology, while Bhagavat, Paramātmā and Kṛṣṇa Sandarbhas deal with object of worship (sambandha). Bhakti Sandarbha deals with the process or abhidheya, bhakti, and Prīti Sandarbha deals with the goal or prayojana, prema.Tattva Sandarbha first explains the various pramāṇas or methods of proof and concludes that śabda or scripture is the strongest. Using scriptural proofs, finally Bhāgavatam is concluded to be the best among all scriptures. The second part of Tattva Sandarbha explains prameya--what is proved by Bhāgavatam: Kṛṣṇa as the object of worship, bhakti as the method and prema as the goal. These topics are expanded in the other Sandarbhas.

Book Description
Kṛṣṇa-Sandarbha is the fourth work in the series of Sandarbhas. Tattva Sandarbha deals with the nature of proof. The Bhagavat and Paramātmā Sandarbhas deal with the natures of the Lord as Bhagavān and Paramātmā, and as well the nature of jīva and prakṛti. A separate sandarbha is not dedicated to Brahman, since it has no qualities and thus its description1 is brief. Kṛṣṇa Sandarbha deals with the nature of Kṛṣṇa, who is a form of Bhagavān, but special because he is the complete manifestation of all of Bhagavān's qualities.

Book Description
Paramātmā Sandarbha is the third Sandarbha. This work describes Paramātmā, since Bhāgavatam delineates three aspects of the Lord: Bhagavān, Paramātmā and Brahman. One Sandarbha has already been dedicated to Bhagavān. Paramātmā is similar to Bhāgavan, having a form and qualities. However, Paramātmā in its three forms as Mahāviṣṇu, Garbhodakaśāyī and Kṣīrodakaśāyī functions in relation to creation, maintenance and destruction of the material universe. Bhagavān functions in relation to devotees in the spiritual world. As well as describing Paramātmā, this work describes the jīva in some detail, since the jīva-śakti takes shelter of Paramātmā. Some parts, particularly of the commentary, deal with arguments against Māyāvāda philosophy.

Book Description
Bhakti Sandarbha is the fifth Sandarbha of Jīva Gosvāmī. The first Sandarbha deals with pramāna, the Bhāgavatam. The second, third and fourth Sandarbhas deal with sambandha: defining the Lord in his aspects as Paramātmā, Bhagavān and Kṛṣṇa. The present Sandarbha deals with the abhideya (method), the sādhana of bhakti. This is the means to realize Kṛṣṇa. The same topic is covered in the second chapter of the Eastern Section of Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu of Rūpa Gosvāmī, but is expanded greatly. It discusses the spiritual nature of this process, the qualification of bhakti, the various actions of bhakti, vaidhi and rāgānuga types, mixed and pure forms of bhakti and various types of devotees.
