Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
“If Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu empowers me to understand the meaning of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, as His servant I will constantly keep the conclusions of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and the process of service approved by Śrīmad Bhāgavatam and learned from Him within my heart. May I never become controlled by self-interest and transgress the lotus feet of my spiritual master, Śrī Nityānanda, or consider Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, which is nondifferent from Śrī Nityānanda, as a commodity of sense gratification.”
