Saṅgīta-mādhava

Author: Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī

"Mādhava in song" — Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī's gīti-kāvya: sixteen sargas, 139 verses and 29 songs with their modes and refrains, after the pattern of the Gīta-govinda. The festival of Vṛndāvana, the first meeting of Rādhā's and Govinda's eyes, pique and reconciliation, the rāsa and separation — seen by a maidservant whose goal is service to Rādhā.
