Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The word saṃhati in the phrase prema-saṃhati means “associate”, so the phrase prema-saṃhati means “beloved associate.”
Śrī Candraśekhara Ācārya is known as Śrī Gaurasundara’s maternal uncle. Therefore Mahāprabhu addressed him as father and established Himself as the object of Candraśekhara’s vātsalya-rasa, or parental
affection. He also revealed that in each of His incarnations Candraśekhara Ācārya maintained a reciprocation of loving exchanges with Him. Śrī Gaurasundara is always bound in his heart, so the Lord told him to return to Māyāpur and inform everyone about His departure for the forest.
Consenting to the request of Keśava Bhāratī, the Lord kept him in front and performed saṅkīrtana as He followed behind. The heart of Śrī Caitanyacandra was filled with intense feelings of separation for Lord Kṛṣṇa. He chanted the names of Kṛṣṇa as He began to walk in search of Kṛṣṇa.
