“Haridāsa must have committed suicide by drinking poison, and because of this sinful act, he has now become a brāhmaṇa ghost.
What the purport teaches
- The devotees guessed that Haridāsa had taken his own life by drinking poison.
- They described this supposed act as sinful and concluded that he had become a brāhmaṇa ghost.
- These words report their guess, not an established account of what happened. In the following verse, Svarūpa Dāmodara rejects it as false.
