Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
On hearing the sound of Śrī Gaurasundara’s kīrtana party, the Kazi sent some people to investigate. He thought that the sound was coming from a marriage party or some joyful party. He said, “I have issued an order to stop the Hindu’s kīrtana. If anyone has transgressed my order and engaged in the Hindu’s kīrtana, then as soon as I receive such news I will go myself to stop it.”
