Amongst prominent devotional traditions that are based in Braj and epistemologically rooted in the Bhāgavata, Puṣṭimārga offers a distinctive blend of Vedāntic hermeneutics and the culture of Braja. Vallabhācārya declares the love of the gopikās, described in the text of Bhāgavata, as an archetype of complete devotion and hermeneutically connects their perception of the Lord of Braja with the Brahman of the Upaniṣads.
