Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
“Please make my life successful with the remnants of the Vaiṣṇavas, for my life is sinful and devoid of remembrance of the Lord.” One who is qualified to be counted among the servants of the Lord is the topmost crest jewel among the brāhmaṇas, who are masters of ordinary people.
