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.

Hymn

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.
