Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The Lord externally accepted the doctrine of the śākta philosophy and opposed the path of devotional service followed by Śrīdhara. The Lord, acting as one of the ordinary persons amongst whom there are differences of opinion, is actually disclosing the real form and process of Vaiṣṇava philosophy on the pretext of questions and answers.
