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 Sarkaracdrya, which is known as Sdariraka-bhdsya.
Thus it appears that Gopala Bhattacarya, the younger brother of Bhagavan Acarya,
had studied Vedanta according to the way of the Sdariraka-bhasya, which ex-
pounds the Mayavada philosophy of the impersonalists.
