Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Since the devotees headed by Śrī Advaita were extremely unhappy due to Śrī Caitanyadeva’s acceptance of sannyāsa, they resolved to give up their lives. At that time they heard a voice from the sky telling them that Śrī Gaurasundara’s enactment of the pastime of giving up the external dress of a devotee was only temporary. His pastime of accepting sannyāsa was for giving up the association of nondevotees.

Another reading for dina-dui-cāri (“two or four days”) is dui-tina-cāri (“two, three, or four”), and another reading for mājhe (“amongst”) is samāje (“in the community”).
