Sārvabhauma called the Lord naturally respectable and wished to become His personal servant.
A sannyāsī is always to be worshiped and offered all kinds of respect by the gṛhasthas, or householders.
Although older than Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Sārvabhauma respected Him as a sannyāsī and as one on the topmost platform of spiritual ecstasy. He thus accepted the Lord as his master.
