Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 6.56
'sahajei pujya tumi, are ta' sannyasa
ataeva han tomara ami nija-dasa'
SYNONYMS
sahajei -- naturally; pujya -- respectable; tumi -- You; are -- over and above this; ta' -- certainly; sannyasa -- the renounced order of life; ataeva -- therefore; han -- am; tomara -- Your; ami -- I; nija-dasa -- personal servant.
TRANSLATION
"You are naturally respectable. Besides, You are a sannyasi; thus I wish to become Your personal servant."
PURPORT
A sannyasi is always to be worshiped and offered all kinds of respect by the grihasthas (householders). Although Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya was older than Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sarvabhauma respected Him as a sannyasi and as one who had attained the topmost platform of spiritual ecstasy. Thus the Bhattacarya certainly accepted Him as his master.
