Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Finding no symptoms of anger in the face of Śrīdhara, Gaurasundara, who is worshiped by the brāhmaṇas, took all of Śrīdhara’s goods; or, on seeing the enchanting form of Gaurasundara, who is worshiped by the brāhmaṇas, Śrīdhara did not become angry even though Gaurasundara forcibly took away his goods.
