Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Upon hearing that the Moslem king had arrested Ṭhākura Haridāsa in order to torture him, the local residents became extremely distressed. They were already happy from hearing about Haridāsa Ṭhākura’s loud chanting of the holy names and his pure ecstatic transformations. But by now hearing and fearing about the inevitable oppression of Haridāsa, they became depressed in the midst of their happiness resulting from seeing him.
