“This is Pradyumna Miśra, who is chief of all Vaiṣṇavas. He is a great servitor of Jagannātha, and his name is Dāsa.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Pradyumna Miśra is introduced as chief of all Vaiṣṇavas and a great servitor of Jagannātha. His name is Dāsa.
In Orissa, most brāhmaṇas use the title Dāsa, although elsewhere the word is generally understood to refer to those other than brāhmaṇas.
Actually, everyone is dāsa because everyone is a servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In this sense, the bona fide brāhmaṇa has first claim to this designation.
