Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
While worshiping Śrī Vyāsa, while worshiping the ācāryas, while worshiping exalted human beings, and while worshiping various incarnations of Kṛṣṇa, one worships the chanting of Kṛṣṇa’s names and thus benefits the entire universe.
