Bhagavān Ācārya asks Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī to hear the poetry first.
He will request Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to hear it only if Svarūpa Dāmodara finds it acceptable.
The proposal allows for careful consideration before the poetry is presented to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Humility and discernment. The Lord directs a seeker to Rāmānanda and clarifies genuine spiritual qualification.
