Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 6.69
'prakriti-vinita, sannyasi dekhite sundara
amara bahu-priti bade inhara upara
SYNONYMS
prakriti-vinita -- by nature very humble and meek; sannyasi -- renouncer; dekhite -- to see; sundara -- very beautiful; amara -- my; bahu-priti -- great affection; bade -- increases; inhara -- Him; upara -- upon.
TRANSLATION
"The sannyasi is very meek and humble by nature, and His person is very beautiful to see. Consequently my affection for Him increases.
PURPORT
Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya considered Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu a very humble and meek person because although Caitanya Mahaprabhu was a sannyasi, He still retained His brahmacari name. The Lord took sannyasa from Kesava Bharati in the Bharati sampradaya, in which the brahmacaris (the assistants of the sannyasis) are named "Caitanya." Even after accepting sannyasa, Caitanya Mahaprabhu retained the name "Caitanya," meaning a humble servant of a sannyasi. Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya appreciated this very much.
