Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

“The conception of the mental speculators who are opposed to the Vedas is to predominately depend on the fruits of their worldly fruitive activities. We attacked You due to our miscreant nature, therefore You should have naturally awarded appropriate punishment to us. But on the contrary, You have delivered us. This transcendental knowledge is the purport of the Vedas.”
