Outline of Final Research Achievements

Varkari sampraday which is known as a tradition of bhakti marga to the local god Vitthal was established in Mahatashtra in the 13th century, and developed into one of the influential religious circle in this area for a while. In this research project, I examined Ekanathi-Bhagavata which is a marathi commentary on the Bhagavata-Purana written by Ekanatha in 16th century, and considered its historical development of the theory of bhakti.
