Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
As a result of the pure devotees’ loud chanting for the pleasure of Lord Kṛṣṇa, people who were attached to sense gratification felt disturbed in their enjoying the happiness of eating and sleeping and were thus greatly displeased. Since Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita and his three brothers loudly chanted the names of Kṛṣṇa every night, the fruitive workers, who are prone to material enjoyment, could not respect such pure conceptions of abhidheya.
