mahÄprabhu - ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu; kailÄ - did; tÄá¹…re - unto him; daṇá¸avat nati - offering obeisances; Äliá¹…gana kari' - embracing; teá¹…ho - RÄmacandra PurÄ«; kaila - did; kṛṣṇa-smá¹›ti - remembrance of Kṛṣṇa.
ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu also offered obeisances unto RÄmacandra PurÄ«, who then embraced Him and thus remembered Kṛṣṇa.
ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu offered obeisances to RÄmacandra PurÄ« in consideration of his being a disciple of ÅšrÄ«la MÄdhavendra PurÄ«, the spiritual master of His own spiritual master, Īśvara PurÄ«. When a Vaiṣṇava sannyÄsÄ« meets another Vaiṣṇava sannyÄsÄ«, they both remember Kṛṣṇa. Even MÄyÄvÄdÄ« sannyÄsÄ«s generally remember NÄrÄyaṇa, who is also Kṛṣṇa, by saying oá¹ namo bhagavate nÄrÄyaṇÄya or namo nÄrÄyaṇÄya. Thus it is the duty of a sannyÄsÄ« to remember Kṛṣṇa. According to smá¹›ti-Å›Ästra, a sannyÄsÄ« does not offer obeisances or blessings to anyone. It is said, sannyÄsÄ« nirÄśīr nirnamaskriyaḥ: a sannyÄsÄ« should not offer anyone blessings or obeisances.
