metadata.value: The paper by Tcvetkova S. O. “The image of Krishna in the poems of Mīrā̃ Bāī» deals with the problem
  of the religious ideas reflected in the poetical heritage of Mīrā̃ Bāī (1499–1547), the famous poetess and
  one of the most prominent exponents of the Krishna bhakti cult in Northern India. It is traditionally
  accepted that Mīrā̃ never was a member of any of the religious communities of her age nor was she a
  follower of any «earthy» religious preceptor, — it was the Lord Krishna by his own who became her
  “true teacher” (satgūru). The scholars nevertheless find in her verses-songs (bhajans) many traces of
  the probable influences from the part of some religious sects — namely the influence of the sermons
  of the Krishna-bhakti doctrines of Vallābhācārya (1478–1530) and Caitanya (1486–1533) as well as
  the teaching of the shaivite yogīs (nāthas). The image of beloved divine Krishna as depicted in the
  bhajans of Mīrā̃ can throw light to this question. Krishna is represented in her poetry in two main
  appearances: as Gopāl (the Herdsman), the iconic form traditionally accepted in Krishna-bhakti cult,
  and as an ascetic yogī (nātha). Analyzing the possible reasons of such an unexpected representation
  of Krishna as the latter in the bhajans of a Krishnaite devotee the author of this paper considers it to
  be due to the influence of the conception of «bhakti-rasa» elaborated by the school of the followers of
  Caitanya. Refs 11.
