brahmaṇyasya paraṁ daivaṁ brāhmaṇāḥ kila te prabho viprāṇāṁ deva-devānāṁ bhagavān ātma-daivatam

O Lord, You are the supreme director of the brahminical culture. Your considering the brāhmaṇas to be in the highest position is Your example for teaching others. Actually You are the supreme worshipable Deity, not only for the gods but for the brāhmaṇas also.
