śrī caitanya mahāprabhu had explained that the śrīmad bhāgavatam is the natural commentary of the vedanta-sūtras. but he had not explained how individual verses of the two scriptures related to each other. sri haridas shastri addressed this key gap in the gauḍīyā vaiṣṇava literature, by writing and publishing his book vedānta- darśanam. this book explains how a verse or verses of the śrīmad bhāgavatam comment on a specific vedanta-sūtra. this work is exceptional in its scholarship, and was honored with an award by the nāgarī pracāriṇī sabhā of benares.
