Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The author, Śrī Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura, is not identified as a descendent by his paternal line. Rather he became famous for his relationship with his mother, who was a devotee of Gaura. It is well known that his mother, Śrī Nārāyaṇī devī, accepted the remnants of Śrī Caitanyadeva. Śrī Vṛndāvana dāsa Ṭhākura, the son of this Nārāyaṇī, was the final servant of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu.
