The essence of the Vedas, which is present in the Upaniṣads, is further distilled into the Bhagavad Gītā. When the distiller is none other than the supreme Prabhu Himself, who declares, >vedāntakṛt vedavideva cāham

The Gītā attains the supreme title of Ekaṃ Śāstram—the foremost of all scriptures.

According to Mahāprabhu Śrī Vallabhācārya,

For the emancipation of beings in the future, Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa, on the occasion of the war, imparted to Arjuna the supreme teachings about sambandha (relationship), sādhanā (means), and phala (goal), all deeply profound. This very teaching was included in the Mahābhārata by Satyavatī’s son in his incarnation as Vyāsa.

Hence, Ācāryacharan firmly asserts,

The one who interprets scripture according to Kṛṣṇavākya-Gītā is the true Bhāgavata, and only such a person is a pure Brahmavādi.

According to Mahāprabhu, the Bhāgavata Purāṇa is an extended version of the Bhagavad Gītā itself. Therefore, as the interpretation of the Gītā is already embedded within Mahāprabhu’s commentary on the Bhāgavata, Subodhinī, Ācārycharan did not write a separate commentary on the Bhagavad Gītā. Instead, he presented the philosophical principles aligned with the Gītā as the first section, “Śāstrārthaprakaraṇa,” of his treatise Tattvārthadīpanibandha. He writes:

Śāstrārthaḥ Gītārthaḥ—The essence of scriptures is the essence of the Gītā.
