Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The daughter of Śrī Vṛṣabhānu cooks for Kṛṣṇa. Since Śrī Gadādhara Paṇḍita Gosvāmī displayed expertise in cooking offerings for Śrī Gopīnātha, Śrī Gaurasundara understood who he actually was and identified him as a cook of Vaikuṇṭha.
