Text 20] Nārada and Aṅgirā Instruct King Citraketu

times addressed as  mahā-pauruṣika . A devotee should always aspire to engage in the service of advanced devotees. As Śrīla Narottama dāsa Thākura has sung:
tāṅdera caraṇa sevi bhakta-sane vāsa janame janame haya, ei abhilāṣa
A devotee should always aspire to live in the association of advanced devotees and engage in the service of the Lord through the  paramparā  system. One should serve the mission of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu through the instructions of the great Gosvāmīs of Vṛndāvana. This is called  tāṅdera caraṇa sevi . While serving the lotus feet of the Gosvāmīs, one should live in the association of devotees ( bhakta-sane vāsa ). This is the business of a devotee. A devotee should not aspire for material profit or lament for material loss. When Aṅgirā Rṣi and Nārada saw that Mahārāja Citraketu, an advanced devotee, had fallen in the darkness of ignorance and was lamenting for the material body of his son, by their causeless mercy they came to advise him so that he could be saved from this ignorance.
Another significant word is  brahmaṇya . The Supreme Personality of Godhead is sometimes addressed by the prayer  namo brahmaṇya-devāya , which offers obeisances unto the Lord because He is served by the devotees. Therefore this verse states,  brahmaṇyo bhagavad-bhakto nāvāsāditum arhasi . This is the symptom of an advanced devotee.  Brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā . For a devotee—an advanced, self-realized soul—there is no cause for material jubilation or lamentation. He is always transcendental to conditional life.
