Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Mukunda was a natural devotee. Factually he was a servant of unalloyed devotional service. Therefore it is impossible for a person to find the limit of his glories. Śrī Mukunda is counted among the dear devotees of Śrī Caitanyadeva.
