"A Garland of Hymns" — poems Rūpa Gosvāmī wrote at different times and on different occasions, gathered into one book by his nephew Jīva. The book is ordered as a ladder: first Śrī Caitanya, through whom everything came, then Kṛṣṇa, then Rādhā, then the two together; then the virtuoso Garland of Praise-Titles, līlās in eighteen metres, figured verses and songs; and at the end hymns to Lalitā, the Yamunā, Mathurā, Govardhana, Vṛndāvana and, last of all, the holy name.
