Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
During the course of the Lord’s ordinary studies, He quickly became a highly learned professor. This extraordinary display of scholarship was not the result of intense study. The Lord exhibited His proficiency in all forms of knowledge in the course of His ordinary studies.
