The Insult Leads to Dismissal
“Then Haridāsa Ṭhākura got up to leave, and the Majumadāras, the masters of Gopāla Cakravartī, immediately kicked him out and dismissed him from their service.”
What the purport teaches
- Haridāsa Ṭhākura gets up to leave the assembly.
- The Majumadāras, who are Gopāla Cakravartī’s masters, immediately expel him.
- They also dismiss him from their service. In this account, his insult is followed by a concrete loss of employment.
