# Cc. Madhya 10.43 > প্রদ্যুম্নমিশ্র ইঁহ বৈষ্ণব প্রধান ৷ > জগন্নাথের মহা-সোয়ার ইঁহ ‘দাস’ নাম ৷৷ ৪৩ ৷৷ ॥৪৩॥ ## Text > pradyumna-miśra iṅha vaiṣṇava pradhāna > jagannāthera mahā-soyāra iṅha 'dāsa' nāma ## Synonyms *pradyumna-miśra*—Pradyumna Miśra; *iṅha*—this person; *vaiṣṇava pradhāna*—chief of all the Vaiṣṇavas; *jagannāthera*—of Lord Jagannātha; *mahā-soyāra*—great servitor; *iṅha*—this; *dāsa nāma*—designated as Dāsa. ## Translation **"This is Pradyumna Miśra, who is chief of all Vaiṣṇavas. He is a great servitor of Jagannātha, and his name is Dāsa.** ## Purport In Orissa most of the *brāhmaṇas* have the title Dāsa. Generally it is understood that the word *dāsa* refers to those other than the *brāhmaṇas,* but in Orissa the *brāhmaṇas* use the Dāsa title. This is confirmed by Culli Bhaṭṭa. Actually, everyone is *dāsa* because everyone is a servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In that sense, the bona fide *brāhmaṇa* has first claim to the appellation *dāsa.* Therefore in this case the designation *dāsa* is not incompatible.
