Next: Sridhara Svami-the author of the earliest extant Vaisnava commentaries on Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam. Though a resident of Benares and a sannyasi of Saṅkara's Mayavada school of philosophy, he taught pure Vaisnava philosophy. He was a devotee of Lord Nrsimhadeva, and his works were highly regarded by Lord Caitanya, especially his Srimad-Bhagavatam gloss, Bhavartha-dipika. The Lord commented that anyone who wanted to write a commentary on Srimad-Bhagavatam must follow the commentary of Sridhara Svami.
