Svarūpa Dāmodara immediately pointed out that Balabhadra Bhaṭṭācārya was quite fit to accompany the Lord because he was a learned scholar and was simple and had great love for Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He was also advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness; therefore he was considered appropriate to accompany the Lord as a personal servant.
The word  snigdha  (very peaceful) and the word  su-snigdha  (affectionate) are used in verses fourteen and fifteen, and they are also found in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (1.1.8):  brūyuḥ snigdhasya śiṣyasya guravo guhyam apy uta . "A disciple who has actual love for his spiritual master is endowed, by the blessings of the spiritual master, with all confidential knowledge." Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī has commented that the word  snigdhasya  means  prema-vataḥ . The word  prema-vataḥ  indicates that one has great love for his spiritual master.
