Subodhini ("Extremely instructive") -
A term used to describe comments on
different texts, owing to the commentary's potential to enlighten the text.
The most notable of these comments, to which the term
Subodhini is commonly applied, is Vallabhacharya's (1479–1531) Bhagavata Purana
commentary.
The Bhagavata Purana is the most significant source for the
mythology of the deity Krishna, whom Vallabhacharya regarded the Supreme Being,
and it is one of the later sectarian compendia known as puranas.
The core principles of Vallabhacharya's religious society,
known as the Pushti Marg because of their emphasis on god's favor, which they
named pushti, meaning "that which feeds the soul," are laid forth in
Subodhini.
