Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Those who went to achieve academic perfection and worldly fame by studying Śrīmad Bhāgavatam from Devānanda Paṇḍita could not

understand the devotional sentiments of Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita during that recitation of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam. When those students, who were situated on the material platform, saw symptoms of ecstatic love like tears, shivering, and stretching in the body of Śrīvāsa, they considered those symptoms obstacles in their hearing of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam.
