(26) As soon as the two went to the houses of those who were not allowed to see Lord Caitanya’s dancing, those people said, “Beat them! Beat them!”

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Whenever the two preachers went to the houses of those who were not allowed to enter Śrīvāsa’s house while Śrī Caitanyadeva was dancing and singing, those people attacked the two with harsh words. Some of them even attempted to beat them. While following the order of Śrī Caitanyadeva, the preachers of Śrī Caitanya Maṭha face similar behavior even today. A former doctor of Sealdah, the society of caste gosvāmīs, the community of pseudo renunciants, the sakhī-bekīs, and the twelve other unauthorized Māyāvādī sampradāyas are prime examples of such people.
