Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

When Kṛṣṇa was leaving Vraja for Mathurā, Nanda and Yaśodā, who are situated in vātsalya-rasa, addressed Kṛṣṇa as bāpa, or “dear child,” out of vipralambha-rasa; so for the Lord, who was playing the role of a devotee, to cry out bāpa 11 is most reasonable. Although Śrī Gaurasundara is the object of five types of rasas, He nevertheless displayed the pastimes of

being the abode of those five rasas. Since Kṛṣṇa alone is the object of the

five rasas, the separated living entities know Kṛṣṇa as the object of their respective rasas in their perfected state. In mādhurya-rasa, He is the lover; in vātsalya-rasa, He is the son; in sakhya-rasa, He is the friend; in dāsya-rasa, He is the young boy of Vraja, son of the King of Vraja; and in śānta-rasa, He is the unknown worshipable object for the spiritually sheltered cows, sticks, and flutes. In this way the one, supreme, nondual spiritual object, Kṛṣṇa, is served by the Goloka Vṛndāvana residents, who are under the shelter of five types of rasas, with five types of moods.
