TRANSLATION
“You are naturally respectable. Besides, You are a sannydsi; thus | wish to
become Your personal servant.”
PURPORT
A sannyasi is always to be worshiped and offered all kinds of respect by the
grhasthas (householders). Although Sarvabhauma Bhattacdrya was older than Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sarvabhauma respected Him as a sannydasi and as one who
had attained the topmost platform of spiritual ecstasy. Thus the Bhattacadrya cer-
tainly accepted Him as his master.
