Recognizing a Plan to Harm
“Rāmacandra Khān said to the prostitute, “My constable will go with you so that as soon as he sees you with Haridāsa Ṭhākura, immediately he will arrest him and bring both of you to me.””
What the purport teaches
- Rāmacandra Khān planned to send his constable with the prostitute to Haridāsa Ṭhākura.
- The constable was to arrest Haridāsa Ṭhākura as soon as he saw them together and bring both to Rāmacandra Khān.
- The surrounding verses show that her visit was part of a planned trap, not a sincere approach to the devotee.
