Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Although Śrī Navadvīpa Māyāpur was inhabited by many brāhmaṇas and persons attached to proper codes of conduct, Śrī Purīpāda arrived at the house of Śrī Advaita Ācārya, who was the leader of the Vaiṣṇavas, due to the consideration that persons like to associate with like-minded persons. Particularly because Śrī Advaita Prabhu was a disciple of Śrī Mādhavendra Purī. Therefore, knowing Him to be a Godbrother, Śrī Īśvara Purī went to the house of Śrī Advaita and thus proved his spontaneous attachment to his spiritual master.
