English translation:

(239) The most magnanimous Raghunātha Vaidya Upādhyāya became fully absorbed in the mood of Revatī.

Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

Śrīmad Raghunātha Vaidya displayed the mood of Revatī and began acting accordingly. Those who discuss Jīva Gosvāmīs Durgama- saṅgamanīcommentary [on Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu] know that sādhakas, who are preparing for perfection, and siddhas, who are already perfect, never consider themselves equal to the āśraya-vigraha. But in the vision of others, they are seen as bhagavad-āśraya-vigraha, or directly related to the Supreme Lord. Exhibition of sentiments befitting the viṣaya- vigraha (the Supreme Lord) like Śrī Rāmadāsa assuming a threefold- bending form in the mood of a cowherd boy often misguide foolish people. That is why the author has used the adjective, vaiṣṇavāgragaṇya—“the topmost Vaiṣṇava,” to describe Śrī Rāmadāsa and did not create misconceptions by describing him as “Viṣṇu.”
