Śrī Bṛhad-Bhāgavatāmṛta

Śrī Bṛhad-Bhāgavatāmṛta is an epic work originally composed in Sanskrit during the sixteenth century by Sanātana Gosvāmī. It is one of the first books written by any of the Six Goswamis of Vṛndāvana. It gives an engaging account of two great spiritual quests. In one, the Vedic sage Narada searches throughout the universe for Kṛṣṇa's greatest devotee. In the other, the cowherd boy Gopa Kumāra searches for Kṛṣṇa Himself - the Supreme Person, the ultimate goal of life. The Bhāgavatāmṛta is the appendix to the sage Jaimini Rishi's version of the historical saga Mahābhārata, and was spoken by the hero of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Mahārāja Parīkṣit, to his mother, just moments before the king's death.

Śrī Śikṣāṣṭakam

The Sri Śikṣāṣṭakam is a 16th-century Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Hindu prayer of eight verses composed in the Sanskrit language. They are the only verses left personally written by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu with the majority of his philosophy being codified by his primary disciples, known as the Six Gosvāmī’s of Vṛndāvana. The Sri Śikṣāṣṭakam is quoted within the Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī's biography of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, written in Bengali. The name of the prayer comes from the Sanskrit words Śikṣā, meaning 'instruction', and aṣṭaka, meaning 'consisting of eight parts', i.e., stanzas. The teachings contained within the eight verses are believed to contain the essence of all teachings on bhakti-yoga within the Gauḍīya tradition.
