“You are naturally respectable. Besides, You are a sannyÄsÄ«; thus I wish to become Your personal servant.â€

Purport

A sannyÄsÄ« is always to be worshiped and offered all kinds of respect by the gá¹›hasthas (householders). Although SÄrvabhauma Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya was older than ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, SÄrvabhauma respected Him as a sannyÄsÄ« and as one who had attained the topmost platform of spiritual ecstasy. Thus the Bhaá¹­á¹­ÄcÄrya certainly accepted Him as his master.
