śreṣṭha hañā - being a more honorable person; kene - why; kara - you do; hīnera - of an inferior person; vandana - worship; āmāra sarva-nāśa haya - I become minimized in My strength; tumi brahma-sama - you are equal with the impersonal Brahman.

Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu continued, “You are a great, spiritually advanced personality, and therefore you cannot worship a person like Me. I am far inferior. If you do so, My spiritual power will be diminished, for you are as good as the impersonal Brahman.
