Purport
Respectable personality is described beginning from the legs and the honoured system is observed here in the case of Sukdeva Goswami although he was only sixteen years of age. A person is honoured by his achievements and not necessarily by advanced ages. A person can be older by experience and not by ages. Sri Sukadeva Goswami who is described herein as the son of Vyasadeva was more experienced than all the sages persent there by his knowledge although he was only sixteen years old.
