Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

During the Lord’s presence, many people from East Bengal accumulated wealth and went with their sons and dependants to study in Navadvīpa, the center of education at that time. Nimāi Paṇḍita was famous as the crest jewel of teachers. The students desired to study under Him alone,

yet for some reason or another everyone was not able to go to Navadvīpa to study under Him. Since today, due to the good fortune of the students, that same crest jewel of teachers, Nimāi Paṇḍita, personally arrived on the bank of the Padmāvatī, they all praised their own extraordinary fortune and considered that now they did not need to go to Navadvīpa.
