Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
The desire for sense enjoyment and the desire for renunciation, which are found in living entities who are afflicted by three types of miseries, are the result of bad association. Mukunda played the role of a jñānī by
accepting the philosophy of the Māyāvādīs of that time. The Lord relieved Mukunda of the Māyāvādīs’ bad association by punishing him and later bestowed mercy on him.
