PURPORT

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu declared Himself a strict sannyasi.

A sannyasi is not supposed to take help from anyone.

Retaining a masseur to give Him massages would indicate His dependence on others.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to follow very strictly the principle of not accepting anyone’s help for His bodily comfort.
