(30) It appeared that two moons were wandering about, and everyone appreciated Their presence according to their surrender.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The phrase dui candra refers to Śrī Gauracandra and Śrī Nityānanda- candra. The phrase āise yāya means “coming and going.”
The phrase nati-anurūpa is explained as follows: Everyone saw Gaura and Nitāi differently according to their service propensity; in other words, they saw Gaurasundara according to the degree of their devotional service. Another reading is mati-anurūpa, which would mean “according to their mentality.”
