Nope, Sorry Krishna Kirti prabhu, you lose

The Six Goswamis have not just compiled the books but have added their

commentaries and have written many others with only their elaborate

commentaries. So these are all bhakti-smrti-sastra.

 

If you are not convinced then here's the nail on the head:

 

"Authoritative books indicating the ultimate goal and written by liberated

souls like Vyasadeva (for example, Bhagavad-gita, Mahabharata and the

Puranas, especially Srimad-Bhagavatam, the Maha-Purana) are called

smrti-prasthana. " (TLC Chp 19, Further Talks with Prakasananda)

 

Note smrti-prasthana has two characteristics:

 

(1) It is written by liberated souls (need not necessarily be only Vyasadeva

as Srila Prabhupada indicates by saying LIKE* Vyasadeva) So you wrong by

saying that the smrtis can only be written by Vyasadeva.

 

(2) These books should be authoritative indicating the ultimate goal of

life.

 

Both these conditions are met in the case of Srila Prabhupada's books except

if you say that Srila Prabhupada was not a liberated soul or his books are

not authoritative or do not lead to the ultimate goal of life, which

ofcourse is not the fact. SO SRILA PRABHUPADA'S BOOKS ARE SMRTI-PRASTHANA.

Not a very humble way to address another devotee, NR Prabhu.

 

Mataji has a good point here...
