षोडश ग्रन्थाः (महाप्रभु वल्लभाचार्य - पुष्टिमार्ग सिद्धान्त एवं सान्वय हिन्दी व्याख्या)

to belittle the achievement of Vallabhacharya by propounding a
principle though novel, far from convincing, for finding out the
true view of Vyasa. It is would be rather hazardous to say that
the true view of Vyasa can be determined from the statement of the
opponents. Assuming however that it is so, the opponents mention
both Parinama and Vivarta as the view of Vyasa. Hence from the
statements of opponent Sankhyas and Naiyayikas it is impossible to
come to the conclusion that Vyasa teaches Vivarta alone in his
Brahma sūtras.

The last portion of his life was passed at Adel, where he finished
his works which were begun by him during his travels, and served Lord
Krishna with the love and devotion of Gopees, and founded his system
on it. At the age of 52 he left his Parnas'āla, joined the Sannyasa
Ās'rama and came to Benares. For a month he observed fast, and
for the last eight days he observed मौनव्रत, and on the 2nd day of the
bright half of Āshadha Samvat 1587, he left this world mid-day.

Vallabha married one Maha Lakshmi. By her he had two
sons, Gopinatha and Vitthales'wara. Gopinatha had one son named
Purushottama, after whom his line became extinct. Vitthales wara
lived over seventy years. He had seven sons. During his time the
Sampradaya flourished very considerably. Todarmal, Birbal, and
Ray Purushottam seem to have come under his influence. Akbar
also presented him with Gokula and Jatipura villages in Vraja. All the
present Maharajas are direct agnate descendants of Vitthales'wara.

While he was staying in the north of India, Vallabhacharya came
into contact with Kes'ava Kashmirin, the famous Nimbarka scholar,
and Chaitanya, the Bengal Saint. They were both Krishnopasakas,
and it seems from Sampradayika gathas that their relations were very
cordial. Kes'ava presented his pupil Madhava Bhatta Kashmirin to
Vallabha in Dakshina of भागवतकथाश्रवण. He became his devout
disciple, and during his whole life acted as the scribe of S'ri
Vallabha. It seems that during Madhava Bhatta's stay with him at
Adel, Vallabha composed his numerous works. During that interval
Vallabha wrote Purva Mīmānsā Bhashya, Brahma-Sūtra Bhashya,
Tattvadipa-Nibandha with his own commentary, Sūkshma tīka and
Subodhini on Srimad Bhagavata, and the sixteen Prakarana Granthas
giving in brief the essence of his views. It is really unfortunate that
only a fragment of his Purva Mimansā Bhashya is available now.
Aṇu Bhashya, as we have it now, is not wholly written by him.
