Jeyadem's Gitagovinda. The study is conducted on theoretical constructs of Hermeneutics. guided by traditional norms and conventions of Persian and Sanskrit literary expression. and informed by the Traditionalist perspective of religion. These considerations represent the platform for the understanding and interpretation of elements or phenomena in the texts as symbolic expressions of the Sufi and Bhakti mystico-religious traditions. Kajian perbandingan ini bertujuan menyingkap persamaan dan perbezaan bersifat mistik di antara dua ekspresi sastera yang unggul, iaitu The Story ofLayla Majnwz oleh Nizami, dan Love Song of the Dark Lord, Jeyadeva's Gitagovinda. Kajian dilakukan berasaskan pendekatan Hermeneutik, berpandu kepada norma dan konvensi sastera tradisional Parsi dan Sanskrit, dan merujuk kepada persepektif Traditionalisme terhadap agama. Asas-asas tersebut merupakan landasan kepada kefahaman dan tafsiran elemen atau fenomena dalam teks sebagai ekspresi simbolik tradisi mistik-agama Sufi dan Bhakti.
