Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The word nivāraṇa means “to stop or forbid.” The word chāoyāla is a corruption of the word śāvaka, which means “child” or “baby.” “The city of Nadia is filled with many respectable gentlemen. It is not proper for Nimāi to perform mischief in such a society.”
