Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Brāhmaṇas are truthful. When those who came to see Mahāprabhu at the house of Vācaspati could not see Him, they assumed that Vācaspati was a liar. Therefore they went to Kuliyā and requested Mahāprabhu to come out of Chakaḍi Caṭṭopādhyāya’s house. Then only would they believe that Vācaspati was a truthful person, for then it would be proved that the Lord was not in Vidyā-vācaspati’s house.
