Sri Pritesh, Sri Vishnu Puranam is more concerned with tatvatrayam (Chit, Achit and Easwara) and more used by Philosphers of that age. Both Sri Sankara and Sri Ramanuja quote extensively from Sri Vishnu Puranam and did not quote from Srimad Bhagavatam. Also, during the time of Ramanuja, it was a norm to quote only from these works to refute other schools of thought. Even Yamanucharya mentions that Sri Vishnu Puranam is Purana Ratna which clearly brings out the tatva traya sampradayam. On the other hand, Srimad Bhagavatam is more for rasikas, who are already established in Tatvatraya (ie, those who clearly know that there is Easwara who is the sustainer of both Chit and achit things) Had Sri Ramanuja quoted from Srimad Bhagavatam during his period, everyone would have clearly rejected that (Esp Advaitins of that period) saying that he was just a Bhaktha and not a philopsher. The Beauty of Sri Ramanuja was that he was the best belend of deep devotion to Lord, Logic and philosophy. For later Philosophers of Bhakthi tradition, it was easier for them use Srimad Bhagvatam since Sri Ramanuja already established paratvam of Lord in his works. Please correct me if adiyen has misstated something.
