tvaṁ ca svāmy anapāśrayaḥ
tvaṁ ca svāmy anapāśrayaḥ
nānyathehāvayor artho
rāja-sevakayor iva
I am your servant, not desiring benefits, and you are my master, without dependence on service. Our relationship should not be anything else--such as that of a material king and servant.
Our real relationship is master and servant. You not take shelter of power which is dependent on servants. Our relationship should not be anything else. Though the relationship of master and servant with desires is well known in the material world, it is impure. Our relationship should not be like that. Material relationships are criticized.

yadi dāsyasi me kāmān
varāṁs tvaṁ varadarṣabha
kāmānāṁ hṛdy asaṁrohaṁ
bhavatas tu vṛṇe varam
O best of the givers of benediction! If you at all want to bestow a desirable benediction upon me, then I pray from you that within my heart material desires will never grow.
“Please accept something to please me.” I ask for the benediction that desires will not arise in my heart.
|| 7.10.8 ||
indriyāṇi manaḥ prāṇa
ātmā dharmo dhṛtir matiḥ
hrīḥ śrīs tejaḥ smṛtiḥ satyaṁ
yasya naśyanti janmanā
By the appearance of desire, the functions of one's senses, mind, life, body, dharma, determination, intelligence, shyness, wealth, strength, memory and truthfulness are destroyed.
By the appearance of desire (yasya), the senses are vanquished. This means that the senses go astray, and cannot experience your sweetness.
|| 7.10.9 ||
vimuñcati yadā kāmān
mānavo manasi sthitān
tarhy eva puṇḍarīkākṣa
bhagavattvāya kalpate
O lotus-eyed Lord! When a human being gives up all desires for a sthāyi-bhāva with you in his mind, he becomes eligible for merging into you.
“If you do not desire benedictions, then why do you desire service to me, saying that you want to be my servant.” (SB 7.9.17) When a person is extremely free of all desires situated in the mind—is free from the sthāyi-bhāvas of dāsya, sakhya etc., then he is qualified for sāyujya (bhagavattvāya). I do not desire merging.
tuṣṭe ca tatra kim alabhyam ananta ādye
kiṁ tair guṇa-vyatikarād iha ye sva-siddhāḥ
dharmādayaḥ kim aguṇena ca kāṅkṣitena
sāraṁ juṣāṁ caraṇayor upagāyatāṁ naḥ
What is not attained if the unlimited original Lord is satisfied? Since we glorify and relish the lotus feet of the Lord, what is the need of dharma, artha and kāma which are achieved automatically by the transformations of the guṇas? What is the need of liberation? SB 7.6.25
Thus I ask for the spiritual benediction of being your servant in dāsya-rasa. Śrīdhara Svāmī says bhagavattvāya means having the same powers as the Lord.
