Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The word āḍe (derived from the word āḍa, which is an abbreviated form of āḍāla, which is a corruption of the Sanskrit word antarāla) means “behind,” “to one side,” “from a distance, or remaining in the distance,” “secretly,” “unexpectedly,” therefore, “taking the opportunity or advantage, or with great enthusiasm,” “with a long hand,” or “forcefully.” Or if this word is understood as being derived from the Sanskrit word āḍi, then it will mean “grudge,” “argument,” “quarrel,” “fight,” “overcome by anger,” “firmly resolved,” “gambling,” or “overcome with obstinacy.” The word bāoyāsa (a local word) refers to a dry gourd without seeds and pulp.
