(27) Yet Yamarāja punishes one who glorifies such reciters who have misunderstood Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Yamarāja, the bestower of punishment and reward and the judge of good and bad, awards punishment to those who endeavor to increase the prestige of learned scholars, who in spite of being educated and filled with all good qualities and ingenuity can become mistaken while abstracting the true meaning of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
