dekha gorācāṅdera kata bhāti śiva, śuka, nārada, dheyāne nā pāoyata, so-pahuṅ akiñcana-saṅge dina-rāti || 1 ||

(1) See the characteristics of Gauracandra! The Lord, who is not attained by the meditation of Śiva, Śukadeva, and Nārada, is spending His days and nights with those who have no material possessions.
Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:
See the manifestation of Śrī Gauracandra’s opulence! That Lord who Śiva, Śukadeva, and Nārada do not attain through meditation is constantly giving His association to those who are devoid of karma, jñāna, and bhakti.
The word akiñcana refers to those who have no material possessions.
