Dandvats should be offered by actually falling down.<br />

PURPORT: TEXT67<br />

Pole, rod -> fall straight -> obeisances to his superior with all<br />

eight aìgas (parts) -> daëòavat.<br />

down. In any case, daëòavat means falling down like a rod before<br />

one’s superior.”<br />

Çréla Svarüpa Dämodara Gosvämé replied to Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu,<br />

“If Rüpa Gosvämé can understand Your mind and intentions, he must<br />

pleased with Rüpa Gosvämé that I embraced him and bestowed upon him<br />

all necessary potencies for preaching the bhakti cult.”<br />
