TRANSLATION

Bhagavan Acarya’s brother, whose name was Gopala Bhattacarya had
studied Vedanta philosophy at Benares and had then returned to Bhagavan
Acarya’s home.

PURPORT

During those days and also at the present, Vedanta philosophy is understood
through the commentary of Sankaracdrya, which is known as Sariraka-bhasya.
Thus it appears that Gopdla Bhattacarya, the younger brother of Bhagavan Acarya,
had studied Vedanta according to the way of the Sariraka-bhasya, which ex-
pounds the Mayavada philosophy of the impersonalists.
