TEXT

'সহজেই পূজ্য তুমি, আরে ত' সন্ন্যাস ।
অতএব হঙ তোমার আমি নিজ-দাস ॥' ৫৬ ॥

'sahajei pujya tumi, are ta' sannyasa

ataeva haṅ tomara ami nija-dasa'

SYNONYMS

sahajei-naturally; pujya-respectable; tumi-You; are-over and above this; ta'-certainly; sannyasa-the renounced order of life; ataeva-therefore; haṅ-am; tomara-Your; ami-I; nija-dasa-personal servant.

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.
