rāmānanda kahe - Rāmānanda said; tumi - You; īśvara - the Supreme Lord; svatantra - independent; kāre tomāra bhaya - why should You be afraid of anyone; tumi naha - You are not; para-tantra - dependent.

Rāmānanda Rāya replied, “My Lord, You are the supreme independent personality. You have nothing to fear from anyone because You are not dependent on anyone.”
