Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

When Śrī Gaurasundara offered foods cooked by Viṣṇupriyā devī, He often observed that half of the offering was eaten by the Deities.

Therefore Mahāprabhu said, “I had a doubt in My mind that your daughter-in-law, Viṣṇupriyā-devī, ate it. But now after hearing about your dream, I am firmly convinced that most of the offered foods were eaten by the Deities Themselves and the rest was left for us.” Within another

room inside the house, Viṣṇupriyā-devī, the mother of the universe, smiled on hearing these words of Śrīman Mahāprabhu.
