Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Being angered by the Lord’s mockery, the residents of Śrīhaṭṭa asked Him about His forefathers’ native place, and they controlled their anger by claiming with certainty that the Lord was a recent descendant of Śrīhaṭṭa inhabitants. The words “Haya, haya,” of Gauḍa-deśa are mistakenly pronounced “Aya, aya,” by the residents of Śrīhaṭṭa. That is why as soon as the Lord began to make fun of and tease their pronunciation, they became angry.
