Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Revatī, Vāruṇī, and Kānti are Śrī Baladeva’s energies. In this regard one should discuss Śrīmad Bhāgavatam (9.3.29, 36) and Viṣṇu Purāṇa (2.5.18). Another reading is revatī, vāruṇī sadā seve—“Revatī and Vāruṇī constantly serve You.”
