“Actually, Sri Jiva Gosvami’s name jiva is very interesting when considered in light of theBhagavata verse: ahastani sahastanam apadani catus padam...jivo jivasya jivanam, “
Animals without hands are food for those with hands, those without feet are food for the four legged...everywhere one jiva (living entity) is food for another.”
Another meaning of jiva is, “one who gives life to others.”
So the spiritual knowledge given by Jiva Gosvami in his twenty five books gives life to all the devotees.
