## Purport
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, as an ideal teacher, or *ācārya,* explained *Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam* very elaborately Himself. He sometimes also empowered His devotees to speak while He listened. This is the way an *ācārya* should train His disciples. Not only should he describe the *bhāgavata* cult personally, but he should also train his disciples to speak on this sublime subject.
