Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Śrī Advaita said, “It is the principle of a sannyāsī to not accept anything from anyone, but Nityānanda Prabhu identifies Himself as a sannyāsī and yet eats three times a day.” Those who under the influence of fruitive activities cannot understand the difference between yukta-vairāgya and phalgu-vairāgya and are unable to understand the uselessness of their arguments consider themselves logicians, but since the basis of their arguments is extremely weak, every intelligent person understands that they are fools. Being driven by external knowledge resulting from their foolishness, they maintain an evil mentality in their hearts that obstructs their darśana of the devotees and the Supreme Lord. Those who have heard topics regarding phalgu-vairāgya and yukta-vairāgya from the mouth of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanyadeva and have been further encouraged by the writings of Śrī Rūpa Prabhu are understood to be liberated from the dangers of such foolishness.
