Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

After hearing Mahāprabhu establish the supremacy and great necessity of devotional service, the dārī sannyāsī, being unable to approve it, considered Mahāprabhu a crazy boy. And on seeing Nityānanda Prabhu dressed as a sannyāsī with Mahāprabhu, the dārī sannyāsī thought that Nityānanda Prabhu had certainly deceived this brāhmaṇa boy by polluting His intelligence.
