Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Hearing that atheistic fallen brāhmaṇa’s unpalatable words, which would send him to hell, Ṭhākura Haridāsa did not reply but rather chanted loudly and immediately left that place, which was polluted with the offense of giving some interpretation on the holy names of the Lord.
