The text mentions several names for the books being read. Can you clarify which texts these are?

๐Ÿ“– Chapter 18

Certainly. Chapter 18 clarifies the specific texts that were central to the daily readings. The primary books were the Bhagavad Gita and the Bhagavat. The text known as Jnaneshwari is explicitly identified as a commentary on the Gita, and its proper name is Bhavartha Deepika, authored by Jnandeva. The other key text is the Nath Bhagawat, which is the "beautiful eleventh Skandha of the Bhagavat." This portion is also described as the dialogue between Krishna and Uddhava, known as the Uddhava Gita. These were considered the essence of the Bhagavat religion and platforms for attaining the highest spiritual goal.
