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 Sahkaracarya, which is known as Sariraka-bhasya. Thus it appears that Gopala Bhattacarya, the younger brother of Bhagavan Acarya, had studied Vedanta according to the way of the Sariraka-bhasya, which expounds the Mayavada philosophy of the impersonalists.
