Gunamala

Gunamala (Assamese: গুণমালা) is a scripture written by Sankardev within one night at the request of Koch king Nara Narayan in 1552.

[1][2] It is an abridged version (handbook) of Bhagavata Purana capturing in racy, rhyming and sonorous verses.

The poet recounts many incidents from Lord Krishna's life making them easy to remember in this book.

King Naranarayan once asked the court poets to give him, in one day, a condensed version of the entire ten cantos of the Bhagawat Purana.

[5] This book is greatly revered by the followers of Eka Sharana Nama Dharma, who keep it at the Guru asana (altar) in the congregational prayer-house called Namghar as the symbol of God.
