Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Ordinary people intoxicated with material conceptions did not care for glorification of the most auspicious devotional service of Viṣṇu. Such people were absorbed in material activities, so they could not understand that the Vaiṣṇavas were certainly most exalted, most elevated, and most glorious.
