Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Those who are averse to the service and pastimes of the Supreme Lord are called pāṣaṇḍīs. The behavior and statements of such pāṣaṇḍīs are full of envy for the Vaiṣṇavas. Understanding Śrī Advaita Prabhu as the leader amongst the Navadvīpa Vaiṣṇavas, all the Vaiṣṇavas informed Him of the atheistic views of those who were opposed to the Vaiṣṇavas.
