Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Mahādeva is worshipable by all the demigods. Demigods and human beings chant the holy names after hearing them from Mahādeva. The Viṣṇusvāmī-sampradāya, which comes from Rudra, its original founder, was inaugurated two hundred years before the advent of Christ in the province of Madura. In that line appeared Lakṣmīdhara, the author of Nāma-kaumudī, and his brother, Śrīdhara Svāmipāda, whose compositions are based on śuddhādvaita philosophy. Both describe the glories of the holy names in their writings. Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī Prabhu has glorified the book Śrī Nāma-kaumudī. The descendants of Premākara and other [According to Sundarānanda Vidyāvinoda in Acintya- bhedābheda-vāda, page 105, Lakṣmaṇa Bhaṭṭa, the father of Vallabhācārya, was the disciple of Premākara Muni.] family gurus of Vallabhācārya did not realize the inconceivable glories of the holy names.
