PURPORT
In the  varṇāśrama-dharma , the  śūdra  is the fourth division in the social status.  Paricaryātmakaṁ karma śūdrasyāpi svabhāva-jam  (Bg. 18.44).  Śūdras  are meant to engage in the service of the three higher classes— brāhmaṇas ,  kṣatriyas  and  vaiśyas . Śrī Rāmānanda Rāya belonged to the  karaṇa  class, which is the equivalent of the  kāyastha  class in Bengal. This class is regarded all over India as  śūdra . It is said that the Bengali  kāyasthas  were originally engaged as servants of  brāhmaṇas  who came from North India to Bengal. Later, the clerical class became the  kāyasthas  in Bengal. Now there are many mixed classes known as  kāyastha . Sometimes it is said in Bengal that those who cannot claim any particular class belong to the  kāyastha  class. Although these  kāyasthas  or  karaṇas  are considered  śūdras , they are very intelligent and highly educated. Most of them are professionals such as lawyers or politicians. Thus in Bengal the  kāyasthas  are sometimes considered  kṣatriyas . In Orissa, however, the  kāyastha  class, which includes the  karaṇas , is considered in the  śūdra  category. Śrīla Rāmānanda Rāya belonged to this  karaṇa  class; therefore he was considered a  śūdra . He was also the governor of South India under the regime of Mahārāja Pratāparudra of Orissa. In other words, Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya informed Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu that Rāmānanda Rāya, although belonging to the  śūdra  class, was a highly responsible government officer. As far as spiritual advancement is concerned, materialists, politicians and  śūdras  are generally disqualified. Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya therefore requested that Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu not neglect Rāmānanda Rāya, who was highly advanced spiritually although he was born a  śūdra  and a materiali
A  viṣayī  is one who is attached to family life and is interested only in wife, children and worldly sense gratification. The senses can be engaged either in worldly enjoyment or in the service of the Lord. Those who are not engaged in the service of the Lord and are interested only in material sense gratification are called  viṣayī . Śrīla Rāmānanda Rāya was engaged in government service, and he belonged to the  karaṇa  class. He was certainly not a  sannyāsī  in saffron cloth, yet he was in the transcendental position of a  paramaharṁsa  householder. Before becoming Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s disciple, Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya considered Rāmānanda Rāya an ordinary  viṣayī  because he was a householder engaged in government service. However, when the Bhaṭṭācārya was actually enlightened in Vaiṣṇava philosophy, he could understand the exalted transcendental position of Śrī Rāmānanda Rāya; therefore he referred to him as  adhikārī . An  adhikārī  is one
