Šrū Caitanya-caritāmrta
[[Madhya-lilā. Ch. 6
The  Ŗg Veda ,  Yajur Veda ,  Sāma Veda ,  Atharva Veda ,  Mahābhārata ,  Pañcarātra  and original  Rāmāyaṇa  are all considered Vedic literature. The  Purāṇas  (such as the  Brahma-vaivarta Purāṇa ,  Nāradīya Purāṇa ,  Viṣṇu Purāṇa  and  Bhāgavata Purāṇa ) are especially meant for Vaiṣṇavas and are also Vedic literature. As such, whatever is stated within the  Purāṇas , the  Mahābhārata  and  Rāmāyaṇa  is self-evident. There is no need for interpretation.  Bhagavad-gītā  is also within the  Mahābhārata ; therefore all the statements of  Bhagavad-gītā  are self-evident. There is no need for interpretation, and if we do interpret, the entire authority of Vedic literature is lost.
