Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The phrase rakṣa-kula-hantā is explained as follows: In His incarnation as Rāma, Lord Gaurasundara enacted the pastime of killing the dynasty of the Rākṣasas led by Rāvaṇa. The phrase guha-vara-dātā indicates that He awarded a benediction to Guhaka, who was born in a family of caṇḍālas.

The phrase ahalyā-mocana indicates He who liberated Ahalyā.
