Krishna as father and Dasya Rasa

Dear Swami Gaurangapada Gurudeva,
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances.

While reading the last chapter of Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata, Adi-khanda, I encountered a statement about dasya-rasa by Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada which I don't understand so well:

"Being situated in the mood of pure dasya-rasa as a servant of Krishna, the Lord considered Krishna as His father and Himself as the son and began to speak as follows: "O father, Krishna, You are My life and soul. Where did You go after stealing My heart? I have become overwhelmed by not finding the object stolen by You. But I have certainly understood that the same thief who has stolen My heart is My maintainer and protector." (CB 1.17.116 purport)

Does addressing Lord Gauranga Krishna as 'father' belong to the dasya-rasa, servitorship?

Thank You very much.

Yours, Matus
