Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
“The meanings of words that You present and have presented through vidvad-rūḍhi is the only actual eternal truth. The meaning of the words that we explain through ajña-rūḍhi, though bearing the apparent meaning, is not the actual truth but a useless interpretation.”
