“DÄmodara Paṇá¸ita and others are more advanced in receiving the mercy of Lord Kṛṣṇa; therefore they are independent of public opinion. As such, they want Me to enjoy sense gratification, even though it be unethical. But since I am a poor sannyÄsÄ«, I cannot abandon the duties of the renounced order, and therefore I follow them strictly.
A brahmacÄrÄ« is supposed to assist a sannyÄsÄ«; therefore a brahmacÄrÄ« should not try to instruct a sannyÄsÄ«. That is the etiquette. Consequently DÄmodara should not have advised Caitanya MahÄprabhu of His duty.
