In the most ancient and revered sastra of the Gauidya Vaisnavas, Srimad Bhagavatam, Sukadeva Goswami exclusively narrates Krishna and the gopis' kanta bhava worship (without mentioning manjari bhava). Hence, Srila Kavikarnapura's guru, Srinath Cakravarti-pada begins his Bhagavata commentary with these essential teachings:
aradhyo bhagavan vrajesa tanayas tad dhama vrndavanam
ramya kacid upasana vraja-vadhu-vargena ya kalpita
srimad bhagavatam pramanam amalam preman pumartha mahan
sri caitanya mahaprabhor matam idam tatradaro nah parah
"We honor Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's opinion that 1) Sri Krishna in his madhura Vraja dham is our worshipable Bhagavan, 2) his Vraja gopi consorts adopt the best means to attain him, 3) the pure sastra Srimad Bhagavatam provides this evidence, and therefore 4) Vraja kanta prema is our supreme goal. After accepting these four truths we shall not be swayed by other opinions."
