Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
Vedāntists.  This does not, however, mean that  Vedānta  is a monopoly study of the Śaṅkara  sampradāya .  Vedānta  is studied by all the bona fide  sampradāyas , but they have their own interpretations. But those in the Śaṅkara  sampradāya  are generally known to be ignorant of the knowledge of the Vedāntist Vaiṣṇavas. For this reason the Bhaktivedanta title was first offered to the author by the Vaiṣṇavas.
The Lord agreed to take lessons from Bhaṭṭācārya on the  Vedānta , and they sat together in the temple of Lord Jagannātha. The Bhaṭṭācārya went on speaking continually for seven days, and the Lord heard him with all attention and did not interrupt. The Lord's silence raised some doubts in Bhaṭṭācārya's heart, and he asked the Lord how it was that He did not ask anything or comment on his explanations of  Vedānta .
The Lord posed Himself before the Bhaṭṭācārya as a foolish student and pretended that He heard the  Vedānta  from him because the Bhaṭṭācārya felt that this was the duty of a  sannyāsī . But the Lord did not agree with his lectures. By this the Lord indicated that the so-called Vedāntists amongst the Śaṅkara  sampradāya , or any other  sampradāya , who do not follow the instructions of Śrīla Vyāsadeva are mechanical students of the  Vedānta . They are not fully aware of that great knowledge. The explanation of the  Vedānta-sūtra  is given by the author himself in the text of  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam . One who has no knowledge of the  Bhāgavatam  will hardly be able to know what the  Vedānta  says.
The Bhaṭṭācārya, being a vastly learned man, could follow the Lord's sarcastic remarks on the popular Vedāntist. He therefore asked Him why He did not ask about any point which He could not follow. The Bhaṭṭācārya could understand the purpose of His dead silence for the days He heard him. This shows clearly that the Lord had something else in mind; thus the Bhaṭṭācārya requested Him to disclose His mind.
Upon this, the Lord spoke as follows: "My dear sir, I can understand the meaning of the  sūtras  like ' janmādy asya yataḥ ,' ' śāstra-yonitvāt ,' and ' athāto brahma-jijñāsā ' of the  Vedānta-sūtra , but when you explain them in your own way it becomes difficult for Me to follow them. The purpose of the  sūtras  is already explained in them, but your explanations are covering them with something else. You do not purposely take the direct meaning of the  sūtras  but indirectly give your own interpretations."
The Lord thus attacked all Vedāntists who interpret the  Vedānta-sūtra  fashionably, according to their limited power of thinking, to serve their own purpose. Such indirect interpretations of the authentic literatures like the  Vedānta  are hereby condemned by the Lord.
