[[File:Rambhadracharya in Anand Mudra while Bhajan.jpg|thumb|left|[[Rambhadracharya|Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Swami Rambhadracharya]]|181x181px]]
Dr. Shivram Sharma, a Sanskrit scholar from [[Varanasi]], wrote in his review of ''Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣyam'' on the eleven Upanishads that it is replete with novel thoughts and Sanskrit derivations, and that Rambhadracharya has shown Rama as the ''Pratipādya'' of the all Upanishads by the wonderful dexterity of ''Vyutpatti''s of Sanskrit words. Sharma adds that the style of interspersed Sanskrit translations of the works of Tulsidas further enhances the literary merit of the work.<ref>{{cite book | last=Sharma| first=Dr. Shivram| title=ईशावास्याद्येकादशोपनिषत्सु विशिष्टाद्वैतपरकं श्रीराघवकृपाभाष्यम्|trans-title=The Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣyam commentary as per Viśiṣṭādvaita on Eleven Upanishads |language=Sanskrit|page=Back Cover | publisher=[[Tulsi Peeth|Shri Tulsi Peeth Seva Nyas]] | place=Chitrakoot, Satna, India| date= April 5, 1998| quote=श्रीराघवकृपाभाष्यं सर्वत्रैवाभिनवविचारैर्व्युत्पत्तिभिश्चालङ्कृतं विभाति। भाष्येऽस्मिन्नाचार्यचरणैः शब्दव्युत्पत्तिचातुरीचमत्कारेण सर्वोपनिषदां प्रतिपाद्यः भगवान् श्रीराम एवेति सिद्धान्तितम्। मध्ये मध्ये गोस्वामिश्रीतुलसीदासग्रन्थेभ्यः ससंस्कृतरूपान्तरमुदाहृता अंशविशेषाः सुवर्णे सुरभिमातन्वन्ति।}}</ref> Dr. Vishnu Dutt Rakesh, a Hindi professor and author from [[Haridwar]], said that the ''Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣyam'' on Bhagavad Gita has the broadest coverage of all Sanskrit commentaries on Gita with "convincing discussion, propounding of theories with evidence, contradiction of others, creative genius and an independent style of composition".<ref name="vdr-review">Rakesh, Dr. Vishnu Dutt. ''Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣya – Commentary on Śrīmadbhagavadgītā''. In Nagar (2002), pp. 735–743.</ref> Dr. Brajesh Dikshit, Sanskrit scholar from Jabalpur, said that the ''Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣyam'' on the Prasthānatrayī is formidable and adorns the Ramananda tradition with greatness. He added that the ''Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣyam'' on Narada Bhakti Sutra and Śrīrāmastavarājastotram are successful in establishing the five ''Prasthāna''s in place of the three ''Prasthāna''s of Prasthānatrayī.<ref name="bd-review">Dikshit, Dr. Brajendra.

Rakesh said that the works follow the [[Ramananda]] branch of [[Vishishtadvaita]] school. There is a fierce contradiction of [[Advaita]] school of Vedanta, which is characterized with a "bold declaration" by the commentator at the beginning of the commentary on Bhagavad Gita:<ref name="vdr-review"/>

<poem>
न कोऽपि जातो जगतीतलेऽस्मिन् प्रपीतवान् स्फीतपयो जनन्याः ।
यो ब्रह्मजीवैक्यमतर्कबुद्ध्या संसाधयेत्तिष्ठति रामभद्रे ॥
na ko'pi jāto jagatītale'smin prapītavān sphītapayo jananyāḥ ।
yo brahmajīvaikyamatarkabuddhyā saṁsādhayettiṣṭhati rāmabhadre ॥
</poem>
{{Quote|There is nobody born in this world and well nourished by the abundant milk of the mother, who can irrationally prove the equality of the [[Brahman]] and the [[Jiva|Jīva]] in the presence of Rāmabhadra (Rambhadracharya).}}
}}

The commentator reiterates the challenge in the Hindi poetic translation of the above verse:<ref name="vdr-review"/>
{{center|
<poem>
संसार में किसने जननि का दूध गाढ़ा है पिया
किसने स्वगुरु के प्रेम से सच्ची लँगोटी है लिया ।
जो कर सके अद्वैत साधन ऋण चुका स्वाचार्य के
वेदान्त बुद्धि विशुद्ध रहते रामभद्राचार्य के ॥
saṁsāra meँ kisane janani kā dūdha gāṛhā hai piyā
kisane svaguru ke prema se saccī laँgoṭī hai liyā ।
jo kara sake advaita sādhana ṛṇa cukā svācārya ke
vedānta buddhi viśuddha rahate rāmabhadrācārya ke ॥
</poem>
{{Quote|Is there anybody in the world having drunk the dense milk of the mother and having taken true [[Sannyasa|Saṁnyāsa]] with the love of the [[Guru]], who can repay the debts of their Guru by proving [the theory of] Advaita in the presence of Rambhadracharya whose [[Vedanta|Vedānta]] intellect is especially pure?}}
