Bhakti-rasamrta-sesa was written by a disciple of Jiva Gosvami. Bhakti-rasamrta-sasa covers the Poetical theory which is not found in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu and follows the theory in Visvanatha Kaviraja’s Sahitya-darpana
Visvanatha Kaviraja’s Sahityadarpana and other important treatises on Sanskrit poetics mostly follow kavya-prakasa. In their commentaries on Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu and on Ujjvalanilamani, Jiva Gosvami and Visvanatha Cakravarti quote from Kavya-prakasa and Sahitya-darpana. The Gosamis attentively studied those two books. In addition, several verses in Padyavali are sourced in Sahitya-darpana.
“The rasika or sahrdaya, the true appreciator of poetry, must be, according to the conception of the Sanskrit therists, not only well read wise, and initiated into the intricacies of theoretic requirements, but also possessed of fine instincts of aesthetic enjoyment,” (Dr. Sushil Kumar De, History of Sanskrit Poetics)
