(100-1101) “On seeing his materialistic appearance, I considered him a materialistic Vaiṣṇava. You understood my mind and revealed the devotional mood of Puṇḍarīka.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Vaiṣṇavas are always free from material enjoyment. Those unfortunate souls who are averse to the truth become devoid of faith in the Vaiṣṇava guru on seeing his external dress. A materialist is busy enjoying material objects like form and taste. But even though devotees of the Lord who are devoid of material enjoyment are identified by ordinary people as enjoyers of material objects, they are situated far away from material enjoyment. Kṛṣṇa alone is the viṣaya, or object, of the devotees’ enjoyment. They have no other propensity than the service of Kṛṣṇa. Not understanding this, materialists consider that devotees are situated on the same platform as themselves. To superficially view a Vaiṣṇava dressed as a materialist and consider him a materialist is the source of offenses. The way that unqualified observers viewed Śrī Gaurasundara, the covered incarnation, and His associates has produced the beliefs of the prākṛta- sahajiyās. The prākṛta-sahajiyās are offenders and are devoid of devotional service to the Lord.

To not understand Puṇḍarīka Vidyānidhi as a Vaiṣṇava as stated by

Mukunda and to consider him a materialist on seeing his external behavior and surrounded by items of enjoyment is a product of ignorance. Knowing this, it was necessary for Mukunda to recite the verses about Pūtanā before Puṇḍarīka.
