### CC Antya 5.98

> অতএব প্রভু কিছু আগে নাহি শুনে ।\
> এই মর্যাদা প্রভু করিয়াছে নিয়মে ॥৯৮॥

> ataeva prabhu kichu āge nāhi śune\
> ei maryādā prabhu kariyāche niyame

*ataeva*—therefore; *prabhu*—Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; *kichu*—anything; *āge*—ahead; *nāhi śune*—does not hear; *ei maryādā*—this etiquette; *prabhu*—Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; *kariyāche niyame*—has made a regulative principle.

**Therefore Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu would not hear anything before Svarūpa Dāmodara heard it first. The Lord made this etiquette a regulative principle.**
