This a small work of only four verses, but it is pregnant with the philosopy of life.

in the Balbodha, Vallabhacharya reffered to the four kinds of Purusharthas and stated that from the standpoint of a worlydly man.

Salvation is the best and to attain it one should be devoted to Vishnu.

Here He refers to the Purusharthas of an ideal follower of the Pushti Marg. He does not desire any worldly or heavenly happiness but loves God so ardently that he scorns all these and derives happiness in the enjoyment of God's Love.

To Him God is "Summon Bonum".

The desire to have vision of God is Kama

and belonging to Him is Slavation (Moksha).
