Remembering Obligation After Gaining Power

“Later Hussain Khān somehow or other was appointed Nawab by the central Muslim government. As a matter of obligation, he increased the opulences of Subuddhi Rāya.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 25.189, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Later, Hussain Khān was appointed Nawab by the central Muslim government.
  • The translation says this happened “somehow or other,” without explaining the circumstances.
  • As a matter of obligation, he increased Subuddhi Rāya’s opulences. His new position did not erase his sense of obligation.
