PURPORT
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains that the word adi-vasya refers to one who has been living with another for a very long time.
Govinda was addressed as adi-vasya because he had been living with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for a very long time, whereas other devotees, who were mostly new, would come and go.
In effect, the Lord told Govinda, “Since you have been living with Me for a long time, you should not be foolishly disappointed in this situation.
