520 | |a This paper deals with the introductory section of a little-known 18th-century Persian versified translation of the tenth skandha of the Bhāgavaṭa Purāṇa, the Jilwa-yi ẕāt "The epiphany of the Essence", completed in Delhi in 1733 by Amānat Rāy, a Vishnuite pupil of the influential poet-philosopher Mīrzā 'Abd al-Qādir Bīdil (1644-1720). Notwithstanding its obvious relevance for the intellectual and religious history of the late Mughal South Asia, especially as far as the use of the Persian as prestigious literary-devontional medium among the communities of Hindu secretaries of North India is concerned, the text has never been the object of any study until now. In these prelimimary remarks, I focus not so much on the translation itself but on the relatively long preface embedded by Amānat in his work: here the author provides an articulate description of Krishna filtered through the Persian poetic canon and a series of conceptual keys for reading his work, showing the deep connections between the poetic lesson of the master Bīdil, the dominant Sufi-Vedantic views and still little understood sphere of Krishnaite devotion in the Persianate environment of courtly Dehli in the 1700s. | ||
