Forgiveness Comes With Renewed Responsibility
“The King told Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka, “You are excused for all the money you owe the treasury, and the place known as Mālajāṭhyā Daṇḍapāṭa is again given to you for collections.”
What the purport teaches
- The King excused Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka from all the money he owed the treasury.
- He again gave him Mālajāṭhyā Daṇḍapāṭa as his place for collecting revenue.
- This relief from debt also brought a return to responsibility, not merely freedom from payment.
