Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

There are two types of 岵ٲ, namely the book 岵ٲ and the devotee 岵ٲ. One who faithfully recites Śī 岵ٲm is certainly a devotee 岵ٲ.

In the Caitanya-峾ṛt (Ā徱 1.99) it is stated:

eka bhāgavata ḍa—Ĕb岵ٲ-śٰ āra bhāgavata—�bhakta bhakti-rasa-ٰ

“One of the 岵ٲ is the great scripture Śī 岵ٲm, and the other is the pure devotee absorbed in the mellows of loving devotion.�
