Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word deyāne (derived from the Persian word dīvān) means “royal assembly,” “religious board,” “court,” “house of justice,” or “durbar.”
“If they were good people, why would they wander from door to door and speak useless words? If they come again, we will have them arrested and sent to the religious board.”
