# Cc. Ādi 7.13 > ‘ভক্ত-অবতার’ তাঁর আচার্য-গোসাঞি । > এই তিন তত্ত্ব সবে প্রভু করি’ গাই ॥১৩॥ ## Text > 'bhakta-avatāra' tāṅra ācārya-gosāñi > ei tina tattva sabe prabhu kari' gāi ## Synonyms *bhakta-avatāra*—incarnation as a devotee; *tāṅra*—His; *ācārya-gosāñi*—the supreme teacher, Advaita Ācārya Prabhu; *ei*—all these; *tina*—three; *tattva*—truths; *sabe*—all; *prabhu*—the predominator; *kari'*—by such understanding; *gāi*—we sing. ## Translation **Śrī Advaita Ācārya is Lord Caitanya's incarnation as a devotee. Therefore these three tattvas [Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Nityānanda Prabhu and Advaita Gosāñi] are the predominators, or masters.** ## Purport *Gosāñi* means *gosvāmī.* A person who has full control over the senses and mind is called a *gosvāmī* or *gosāñi.* One who does not have such control is called *godāsa,* or a servant of the senses, and cannot become a spiritual master. A spiritual master who actually has control over the mind and senses is called *gosvāmī.* Although the *gosvāmī* title has become a hereditary designation for unscrupulous men, actually the title *gosāñi,* or *gosvāmī,* began from Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, who presented himself as an ordinary *gṛhastha* and minister in government service but became *gosvāmī* when he was actually elevated by the instruction of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Therefore *gosvāmī* is not a hereditary title but refers to one's qualifications. When one is highly elevated in spiritual advancement, regardless of wherefrom he comes, he may be called *gosvāmī.* Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu and Śrī Advaita Gosāñi Prabhu are natural *gosvāmīs* because They belong to the *viṣṇu-tattva* category. As such, all of Them are *prabhus* ("predominators" or "masters"), and They are sometimes called Caitanya Gosāñi, Nityānanda Gosāñi and Advaita Gosāñi. Unfortunately Their so-called descendants who do not have the qualifications of *gosvāmīs* have accepted this title as a hereditary designation or a professional degree. That is not in accord with the śāstric injunctions.
