Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
After hearing the words of Mahāprabhu, Mukunda understood that the Lord was extremely unhappy with him and would not give him darśana. Therefore Mukunda said to Śrīvāsa, “How long will it be before I’m qualified to go before Mahāprabhu?” After saying this, Mukunda began to cry profusely in distress.
