(2) All glories to Śrī Caitanya, the son of Jagannātha and Śacī! All glories to Gaurasundara, who inaugurated the glorious saṅkīrtana movement!
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The saṅkīrtana movement of Śrī Gaurasundara is the highest benediction in all respects. The subject matter of this kīrtana illustrates the most exalted pastimes of the Lord, therefore there is no comparison to this saṅkīrtana.
