Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

While loudly chanting the sixteen name, or thirty-two syllable, Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, or by loudly chanting the names of Śrī Rādhā- Govinda, Śrī Advaita Prabhu became overwhelmed in ecstasy. According to the learned viewpoint, the names of Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa that Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī has indicated in two of the concluding verses of Vilāpa-kusumāñjali beginning with āśābharair amṛta-sindhu-mayaiḥ are included within the sixteen names, or thirty-two syllables, of the mahā-mantra. The so-called devotees of the pseudo sampradāyas who are opposed to the followers of Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, though identifying themselves as devotees, are unable to understand the identity of Kṛṣṇa’s names, and being reluctant to accept the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra composed of sixteen names, or thirty-two syllables, as names of Kṛṣṇa,

they thus consider the mahā-mantra as an ordinary mantra. These offenders are traveling towards hell and are simply rebellious against the guru. One should discuss the verse tuṇḍe tāṇḍavinī ratiṃ 21 in this regard. The names of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, or in other words, the names “Hare Kṛṣṇa”, indicate Śrī Rādhā-Govinda, and the names “Hare Rāma”

also refer to Śrī Rādhā-Govinda. Those who have learned to become

subordinate to Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī, who is situated as the subordinate of Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhuvara, who composed Śrī Rādhāṣṭaka and Śrī Hari-nāmāṣṭaka, can never commit offences at the feet of Śrī Jīva Gosvāmī. Śrī Gaurasundara has incarnated in order to teach people that the names of Śrī Rādhā-Govinda and Śrī Rādhā- Govinda Themselves are nondifferent. He instructed the conclusions of acintya-bhedābheda to thoughtful persons.
