Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
In order to deceive persons endowed with material knowledge and desirous of liberation, the Vedas manifest for them the ajña-rūḍhi of words, or the conventional meaning of words according to the unenlightened. Since the materialistic Māyāvādīs study the Vedas through the ascending process and the Vedic literatures encourage them in that way, the Lord’s anger towards the bewildering potency of the Vedas is a prime example of jīve-dayā, or compassion on the living entities. Actually there is no possibility of the Lord becoming angry with the Vedas, for they are engaged in His service. Therefore His anger is aimed at the inauspiciousness of persons who study the Vedas from the impersonal point of view.
