Classified

Classification by Sri Chaitanya of all the other scriptures as:
  1. sambandha, 
  2. abhidheya and 
  3. prayojana. 
Sambandha, which means relation, treats of the relationship between Jéva, world and Éçvara. But since Jiva and the world are the manifestations of the cit and acit potencies of Éçvara, sambandha-- jïäna primarily means knowledge of the complete personality of Éçvara, and sambandha-präpti the realization of our true relationship with Him.

Abhidheya means the way that leads to attainment of this relationship and

prayojana the purpose for which the relationship is sought.
  1. Éçvara, conceived in all His perfection, is sambandha; 
  2. Bhakti is abhidheya; and 
  3. Prema is prayojana.
