Offering the results of prescribed varṇāśrama actions (karmārpaṇam) is considered by some to be dāsyam. However, Rūpa Gosvāmī’s opinion is that only kaiṅkaryam, acting as the menial servant of the Lord is considered dāsyam. One should identify oneself as the servant of the Lord. It is said in Itihāsa-samucchaya: janmāntara-sahasreṣu yasya syād buddhir īdṛśī | dāso ’haṁ vāsudevasya sarvān lokān sa uddharet || One who has the attitude of being the servant of Vāsudeva for thousands of births can deliver all people. Śrīdāma Vipra also states it in the Bhāgavatam: tasyaiva me sauhṛda-sakhya-maitrī-dāsyaṁ punar-janmani syād Life after life may I have love, friendship, sympathy and service (dāsyam). SB 10.81.36 The dāsyam mentioned by Śrīdāma means “being in the position of a servant” according to Śrīdhara Svāmī. This service as kaiṅkaryam means to perform actions of service with respect for the authority of the Lord. There is no real difference between this dāsya and paricaryā (service, another aṅga) in its pure form.
