Madhvaon Brahma Sūtra 3.4.47

The third view (is Badarayana’s own). The souls are appointed as the other (secondary) auxiliaries of the gods in their work of imparting knowledge, etc, just as the people (subjects) are appointed as auxiliary to the king who rules the people; or just as the pupils are to the preceptor. And this is said in the Vârâha : “ The duty of imparting right knowledge is imposed upon the gods by Vishnu ; and it is enjoined upon them by scrip- ture ; and the chief auxiliary thereto is the preceptor (and next to him the souls form their auxiliaries); just as they (subjects) are correlated to the king in the act of protecting and the pupils are to the preceptor in the act of imparting knowledge. Therefore the souls obtain the fruit of study (knowledge, etc.); but the preceptors obtain a highly enhanced fruit; still more enhanced, it is said, is the fruit accruing to the gods.
