Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Advaita Prabhu said to Rāmāi, the youngest brother of Śrīvāsa, “You should tell Mahāprabhu that Advaita did not come. I want to see what is His reaction. I will secretly hide in the house of Nandana Ācārya, and you go tell Mahāprabhu what I have told you.” The Supersoul, Śrī Gaurāṅga, understood this confidential talk, so He went to the house of Śrīvāsa.
There He sat on the throne of Nārāyaṇa, the family Deity of Śrīvāsa, and repeatedly declared, “Nāḍā is coming. Nāḍā is coming.” The Lord further said, “Nāḍā (Advaita Ācārya) wants to test My supremacy. He doubts whether I can understand His intention, or perhaps He played this trick to manifest Me before the world.”
