| Итог: | In an economy where the labour of women and the surplus production of the peasant and artisan are customarily and 'naturally' appopriated by the ruling groups, the high Hindu traditions sought to encompass and retain the management of spiritual surplus, and circumscribe its availability along lines of caste and gender. In this spiritual economy, the liberalising and dissenting forms of Bhakti emerge as a powerful force which selectively uses the metaphysics of high Hinduism in an attempt to create an inappropriable excess or transcendent value grounded in the dailiness of a material life within the reach of all. The paper attempts to understand the specific character of Mirabai's Bhakti as it finds shape within the overlapping yet contradictory configuration of the patriarchal assumptions of the medieval Rajput state.
