the temple. There are also descriptions of the Govardhana-pūjā and Rathayātrā. The seventeenth  vilāsa  discusses preparations for Deity worship,  mahāmantra  chanting and the process of  japa . In the eighteenth  vilāsa  the different forms of Śrī Viṣṇu are described. The nineteenth  vilāsa  discusses the establishment of the Deity and the rituals observed in bathing the Deity before installation. The twentieth  vilāsa  discusses the construction of temples, referring to those constructed by the great devotees. The details of the  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa-grantha  are given by Śrī Kavirāja Gosvāmī in the  Madhya-līlā  (24.329-345). The descriptions given in those verses by Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī are actually a description of those portions compiled by Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī. According to Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura, the regulative principles of devotional service compiled by Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī do not strictly follow our Vaiṣṇava principles. Actually, Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī collected only a summary of the elaborate descriptions of Vaiṣṇava regulative principles from  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa . It is Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī's opinion, however, that to follow the  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa  strictly is to actually follow the Vaiṣṇava rituals in perfect order. He claims that the  smārta-samāja , which is strictly followed by caste  brāhmaṇas , has influenced portions that Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī collected from the original  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa . It is therefore very difficult to find out Vaiṣṇava directions from the book of Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī. It is better to consult the commentary made by Sanātana Gosvāmī himself for  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa  under the name of  Dig-darśinī-ṭikā . Some say that the same commentary was compiled by Gopīnātha-pūjā Adhikārī, who was engaged in the service of Śrī Rādhāramaṇajī and who happened to be one of the disciples of Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī.
Regarding  Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta , there are two parts dealing with the discharge of devotional service. The first part is an analytical study of devotional service, in which there is also a description of different planets, including the earth, the heavenly planets, Brahma-loka and Vaikuṇṭha-loka. There are also descriptions of the devotees, including intimate devotees, most intimate devotees and complete devotees. The second part describes the glories of the spiritual world, known as  Goloka-māhātmya-nirūpaṇa , as well as the process of renunciation of the material world. It also describes real knowledge, devotional service, the spiritual world, love of Godhead, attainment of life's destination, and the bliss of the world. In this way there are seven chapters in each part, fourteen chapters in all.
Daśama-ṭippanī  is a commentary on the Tenth Canto of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam . Another name for this commentary is  Bṛhad-vaiṣṇava-toṣaṇī-ṭikā . In the  Bhakti-ratnākara , it is said that  Daśama-ṭippanī  was finished in 1476 Śakābda.
