Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The word ṣaḍ-bhuja refers to the famous six-armed form of Lord Gaurasundara with the two hands of Śrī Rāmacandra, the two hands of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, and the two hands of Śrī Gaurahari. Another opinion is that ṣaḍ- bhuja has the two hands of Nṛsiṃha, the two hands of Rāma, and the two hands of Kṛṣṇa. The two hands of Gaurasundara hold a daṇḍa and kamaṇḍalu, the two hands of Kṛṣṇa hold a flute, and the two hands of

Rāma hold bow and arrows. A painting of this form is found in Jagannātha Purī in one temple [in Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya’s house, or Gaṅgā-mātā Maṭha].

The word viśva-raṅga refers to the universal form of the Lord as mentioned in the Eleventh Chapter of the Bhagavad-gītā.
