Význam

Śrī Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa was a Vaiṣṇava brāhmaṇa and an inhabitant of Śrī Raṅga-kṣetra. He belonged to the disciplic succession of Śrī Rāmānujācārya. Śrī Raṅga is one of the places of pilgrimage in the province of Tamil Nadu. The inhabitants of that province do not retain the name Veṅkaṭa. It is therefore supposed that Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa did not belong to that province, although he may have been residing there for a very long time. Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa was in a branch of the Rāmānuja-sampradāya known as Vaḍagalai. He had a brother in the Rāmānuja-sampradāya known as Śrīpāda Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī. The son of Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa was later known in the Gauḍīya-sampradāya as Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī, and he established the Rādhāramaṇa temple in Vṛndāvana. More information about him may be found in a book known as the Bhakti-ratnākara, by Narahari Cakravartī.

Śrī Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa byl vaiṣṇavský brāhmaṇa a obyvatel Šrí Ranga-kšétry. Patřil k učednické posloupnosti Śrī Rāmānujācāryi. Šrí Ranga je jedno z poutních míst v provincii Tamilnádu. Obyvatelé této oblasti si jméno „Veṅkaṭa“ nedávají, a tak se předpokládá, že Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa z této oblasti nepocházel, i když tam možná dlouhou dobu žil. Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa patřil k odnoži Rāmānuja-sampradāyi známé jako Vaḍagalai. V Rāmānuja-sampradāyi měl i bratra, který se jmenoval Śrīpāda Prabodhānanda Sarasvatī. Syn Veṅkaṭy Bhaṭṭy byl později v Gauḍīya-sampradāyi známý jako Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī a ve Vrindávanu založil chrám Rādhāramaṇa. Více poznatků o něm lze najít v knize Bhakti-ratnākara od Narahariho Cakravartīho.
