Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The matchless quality of the sweet form of Gaura-Kṛṣṇa, who is the Lord of the samvit potency, is so powerful that it forcibly attracts all transcendentally pure objects. In this regard one may refer to the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (3.2.12).
