Will continue to update the above list with proper dates and other works.

To do such a chronological, bibliographical list has been in my mind for quite some time.

[Nitaidas]

Where is Gopala Bhatta (Hari-bhakti-vilasa) and Santana's comm. on it?

Where is Sri Jiva's Hari-namamrta-vyakarana? Sanatana probably did the first version the Laghu-harinamamrta-vayakarana.

Brahma Vaivarta Purana?

Narahari Sarkar-- Sri Krsna-bhajanmrta, Bhakti-candrika-patala?

To name just a few...

More later.

Indeed Nitaidasji, without the participation of Your Grace in this thread this list will never take a complete shape. I'll be updating always, as I said earlier. And all other forum-members can post the titles they don't see and I'll add them in the first post. This way the list can take a definitive shape. Not only the names of the titles, our special emphasis should be also to give the accurate or approximate dates of all the works.

In the very first post for some reasons I left out HBV and HNV. How sarasa is the former? Haven't read the second one. Is that a lot juicy too?

A lot of Post-Chaitanya works will need to be added as well.

Also, what do you think could be the composition date of the BV Purana?

Just came across what Nilamadhavaji is doing with his sheet. That's great!

Perhaps he can make another chronicling the development of the RV ideology in books.
