Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Hardly anyone can understand the loving sentiments of Advaita Prabhu. Being unable to understand the actual meaning of Vaiṣṇavism, a few sons and nondevotee so-called disciples of Śrī Advaita Prabhu introduce Advaita Prabhu as an impersonalist and support Him while disregarding Śrī Gaurasundara’s most dear Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita Gosvāmī. Since Śrī Acyutānanda Prabhu, the son of Advaita, accepted subordination of Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita Gosvāmī, a few Māyāvādī descendants of Advaita dared to disregard Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita Gosvāmī Prabhu. As a result,

they met with inauspiciousness. When unauthorized disciples and sons of Śrī Advaita Prabhu saw that after the disappearance of Śrī Advaita Prabhu His most intimate disciples began to worship Hari under the subordination of Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita Gosvāmī, they began to burn within. Considering their family prestige from the mundane viewpoint and considering Advaita Prabhu as Viṣṇu and themselves as “Viṣṇu’s sons,” they attacked those who worshiped under the guidance of Śrī Gadādhara Prabhu.
