Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
By speaking most uncommon words, Śrī Gaurasundara tried to win the hearts of the people. That is why some ignorant persons, on observing the most talkative nature of the Lord, decided that His transformations of love were due to an increase in bodily airs.
