(135) The activities performed by the Supreme Lord are called Veda. The four Vedas sing of those activities while avoiding all contradictions.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The Vedas glorify the activities performed by the Supreme Lord. The
intention of the Vedas is to reveal the activities of the Supreme Lord. The activities of the Lord are the actual subject matter of the Vedas. The Vedas do not establish any contradictory statements in their glorification of the advaya-jñāna Lord, or the Absolute Lord. Topics of the advaya- jñāna Hari are sung in the Vedas without contradictions.
