Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.80.41
Blended reading (Sanskrit + English inline)
-
sat - śiṣyaiḥ
—
by true disciples
Compound: sat (true) + śiṣya. The verse specifies sat-śiṣya — not every disciple, but the true ones. Gauḍīyas: discipleship has a standard; mere initiation is not sufficient.
-
kartavyam
—
to be done
Verbal adjective from √kṛ. Vidhi-vākya — an obligatory term. Sāndīpani names total surrender as duty, not heroism.
-
niṣkṛtam
—
repayment of one's debt
Past participle of nis-√kṛ — discharging an obligation. The Vedic concept of ṛṇa (debt) underlies it: guru-ṛṇa is real, and it is paid by sarva-arpaṇa.
-
viśuddha - bhāvena
—
with a completely pure attitude
Compound: viśuddha (pure) + bhāva (attitude). Bhāva — the same word as in bhāva-bhakti. Gauḍīyas: the offering must be pure-bhāva, not mechanical. The interior intent makes the sarva-arpaṇam complete.
-
sarva-artha-ātmā-arpaṇam
—
the offering of all one's assets and one's body
Quadruple compound (verse: sarvārthātmārpaṇaṁ): sarva (all) + artha (wealth) + ātmā (body/self) + arpaṇa (offering). The most concise statement of total surrender in this chapter. Gauḍīyas equate it with the sixth limb of śaraṇāgati — ātma-nikṣepa.
One engages one’s body to realize one’s purposes. The body is also the basis of the material conception of “I,” while one’s fortune is the basis of the conception of “mine.” Thus by offering everything to the spiritual master, one realizes one’s self to be an eternal servant of the Lord. The spiritual master does not exploit the disciple but rather engages him fully in Kṛṣṇa consciousness for the disciple’s eternal benefit.
All students should repay the debt to the guru by offering all objects (sarvartha), which are the seat of possessiveness, and their body (atma), the seat of their identity (atma).
You have truly done service to guru. This is definitely (hi) to be done. This alone should be done (vai). Other duties are rejected.
The disciple has nothing of his own — wealth and even body are made over to the guru, like a tributary stream pouring entirely into the Yamunā. Sāndīpani names this as the standard. Gauḍīyas read it as guru-arpaṇa, the seed of ātma-nikṣepa, the fifth limb of śaraṇāgati.
Born to immense wealth, Raghunātha dāsa abandoned everything — house, lands, parents — to live as a bhikṣu under Mahāprabhu's order, eventually subsisting on butter-milk and discarded scraps at Govardhana. He gave his wealth, his body, and his very life to his guru.
Gauḍīyas treat his life as the lived form of SB 10.80.41 — sarva-artha-ātma-arpaṇam in continuous practice.
