Supreme Personality of Godhead.” One who disobeys the orders of the spiritual master is also considered a  pāṣaṇḍī . The word  pāṣaṇḍī  has been described in many places in  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam , including 4.2.28, 30, 32; 5.6.9 and 12.2.13, 43.
On the whole, a  pāṣaṇḍī  is a nondevotee who does not accept the Vedic conclusions. In the  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa  (1.117) there is a verse quoted from  Padma Purāṇa  describing the  pāṣaṇḍī . Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu quotes this verse as the following text.
