Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
“Out of envy we attacked Your aṅga, or limb, and drew blood. As a result we were able to see Your aṅga, upāṅga, astra, and pāriṣada.” The word aṅga refers to Nityānanda and Advaita, the word upāṅga refers to the devotees headed by Śrīvāsa, the word astra refers to the name of Hari, and the word pāriṣada refers to Gadādhara, Dāmodara Svarūpa, and others. By another consideration aṅga refers to Kṛṣṇa’s supreme attractiveness, the word upāṅga refers to ornaments, the specialty of mahābhāva is the astra, and constant companions are the pāriṣada.
