Madhurya-Kadambini (Cloud Bank of Nectar), by the renowned Gaudiya Vaisnava acarya Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura, is a short work, and it is a commentary on an even shorter work � just two verses that appear in Srila Rupa Gosvami�s Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. We must be grateful to Bhakti-Tirtha Swami for giving us the work at hand � a summary of, guide to, and commentary on Madhurya-Kadambini. By drawing our attention to this exceptional book and by leading us carefully through it, he does a great service.
