TRANSLATION
"You are naturally respectable. Besides, You are a sannyasi; thus I wish to become Your personal servant."
PURPORT
A sannyasi is always to be worshiped and offered all kinds of respect by the grhasthas (householders). Although Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya was older than Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sarvabhauma respected Him as a sannyasi and as one who had attained the topmost platform of spiritual ecstasy. Thus the Bhattacarya certainly accepted Him as his master.
