one of His devotees to speak while He listened.

PURPORT

Sti Caitanya Mahaprabhu, as an ideal teacher, or acarya, explained Srimad-
Bhagavatam very elaborately Himself. He sometimes also empowered His devo-
tees to speak while He listened. This is the way an dcarya should train His dis-
ciples. Not only should he describe the bhagavata cult personally, but he should
also train his disciples to speak on this sublime subject.
