Эта история о преданном Господа Чайтанйа, которого звали
Суббудхи Рай.
187
Formerly Subudhi Raya had been a big landholder in Gayda-
desa(Bengal) Saiyada Hussain Khan was then a servant of Subbudhi Raya.
188
Subuddhi Raya put Hussain Khan in charge of digging a big lake, but,
once, finding fault with him, he struck him with a whip.
189
Later Hussain Khan somehow or other was appointed Navab by the
central Mohammedan goverment. As a matter of obligation ,
he increased the opulences of Subuddhi Raya.
190
Later, when the wife of Nawab Saiyada Hussain Khan saw the whip
marks on his body, she requested him to kill Subuddhi Raya.
191
Hussain Khan replied, "Subuddhi Raya has maintained me very
carefully. He was just like a father to me, "he said. "Now
you are asking me to kill him. This is not a very good proposal."
192
As a last alternative, the wife suggested that the Nawab take away
Subuddhi Rayas caste and turn him into a Mohammedan, but Hussain
Khan replied that if he did this, Subbuddhi Raya would not live.
193
This became a perplexing problem for him because his wife kept
requesting him to kill Subuddhi Raya. Finally the Nawab sprinkled
a little water on Subuddhi Raya`s
head from a pitcher that had been used by a Mohammedan.
194
Taking the Nawab`s sprinkling water upon him as an opportunity,
Subuddhi Raya left his family and business affairs and went to Varanasi.
195
When Subuddhi Raya consulted the learned brahmanas at Varanasi, asking
them how his conversion to Mohammedanism could be counteracted, they
advised him to drink hot dhee and give up his life.
196
When Subuddhi Raya consulted some other brahmanas, they told him
that he had not committed a grievous fault and that consequently
he should not drink hot ghee and give up his life. As a result,
Subuddhi Raya was doubtfull about that to do.
197
In his state of perplexity, Subuddhi Raya met Sri Caitainya
Mahaprabhhu when the Lord was at Varanasi. Subuddhi Raya explained
his position and asked Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu what he should do.
198
The Lord advised him, "Go to Vrndavana and chant the Hare Krshna
mantra constantly."
