Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The associates who had assisted in the pastimes of Kṛṣṇa now displayed their respective services to Śrī Gaurasundara as Vaiṣṇavas of this world. The original Personality of Godhead, Śrī Gaura-Kṛṣṇa, personally knew where each of His devotees appeared.
