Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Since the Mohammedan kings of Bengal made a huge arrangement to attack the kingdom of Orissa, travelers from Bengal to Nīlācala became greatly apprehensive. The Mohammedan king of Bengal had for a long time instigated his subordinates to attack Orissa. What to speak of this, shortly thereafter the King even planned to personally lead an attack to destroy Orissa with Sanātana Gosvāmī at his side. The same year that Śrī Gaurasundara returned from Kānāi Nāṭaśālā while on the way to Vṛndāvana, the devotees had warned Him of the dangers of traveling to Vṛndāvana.
