Further reading

Ādi 6: The Glories of Śrī Advaita Ācārya

From Śrīla Prabhupāda's chapter summary, the lines nearest this verse:

That Advaita, the superintendent of the cosmic manifestation, has descended in the form of Advaita Ācārya to associate with Lord Caitanya. When He is addressed as the servitor of Lord Caitanya, His glories are magnified because unless one is invigorated by this mentality of servitorship one cannot understand the mellows derived from devotional service to the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa.
