SYNONYMS
gopāla-bhaṭṭācārya —Gopāla Bhaṭṭācārya;  nāma —named;  tāṅra —his;  choṭa-bhāi —younger brother;  kāśīte —at Benares;  vedānta paḍi —studying Vedānta philosophy;  gelā —went;  tāṅra ṭhāñi —to his place.
TRANSLATION
Bhagavān Ācārya's brother, whose name was Gopāla Bhaṭṭācārya, had studied Vedānta philosophy at Benares and had then returned to Bhagavān Ācārya's home.
PURPORT
During those days and also at the present, Vedānta philosophy is understood through the commentary of Śaṅkarācārya, which is known as  Śārīraka-bhāṣya . Thus it appears that Gopāla Bhaṭṭācārya, the younger brother of Bhagavān Ācārya, had studied Vedānta according to the way of the  Śārīraka-bhāṣya , which expounds the Māyāvāda philosophy of the impersonalists.

TRANSLATION
Bhagavān Ācārya took his brother to meet Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, but the Lord, knowing that Gopāla Bhaṭṭācārya was a Māyāvādī philosopher, could not get much happiness from meeting him.
