Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The words vaiṣṇavera śāstra refer to Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, which is the principle commentary on the Bādarāyaṇa-sūtras, or Brahma-sūtras. It is stated: śrīmad-bhāgavataṃ purāṇam amalaṃ yad vaiṣṇavānāṃ priyam—“Śrīmad Bhāgavatam is the spotless Purāṇa and is most dear to the Vaiṣṇavas.” These words also refer to the six Vaiṣṇava Purāṇas, headed by the Viṣṇu Purāṇa and the Padma Purāṇa; the Vaiṣṇava smṛtis, such as that of Hārīta, from among the twenty Dharma-śāstras, headed by that of Manu; the śrutis, such as Gopāla-tāpanī and Nṛsiṃha-tāpanī; the histories, such as the Mahābhārata and the original Rāmāyaṇa; the Sātvata Pañcarātras headed by the Nārada, Hayaśīrṣa, and Prahlāda; and the literatures written by exalted pure devotees.
