Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Since Śrīman Mahāprabhu delivered Jagāi and Mādhāi, He became known as Brahma-daitya-tāraṇa, the deliverer of the brāhmaṇa demons. Although Jagāi and Mādhāi were born in a brāhmaṇa family, they were addressed as “demons” due to their aversion to the Lord.
