Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Śrī Śacīdevī said to the devotees, “The devotees are the rightful owners of the Lord’s items, therefore you all have the right to Gaurahari’s possessions. This is the verdict of the scriptures. So take away these items and let me go away.”
