Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu and Śrī Nāmācārya Haridāsa Ṭhākura are both controllers of the universe. The people of this world accept wrong paths and fall into calamities. These two Lords provide auspiciousness to such misguided people by becoming their guides. Protecting the living entities from prajalpa and engaging their speech in the service of the Lord, the expert guide Ṭhākura Haridāsa helps them control their sinful minds and invite the favorable flow of thoughts in order to protect their body and limbs from aversion to the worship of Kṛṣṇa and thus delivers them from their bodily hardships. And Lord Nityānanda removes the unhappiness of
this world and merges the living entities in eternal bliss.
