Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
On arriving, the prostitute first offered obeisances to the tulasī plant.
She then went to Haridāsa Ṭhākura’s door, offered him obeisances and stood there.
These respectful gestures occurred within the attempt to entrap him described in the neighbouring verses. The gestures alone did not reveal her purpose.
Steadfast compassion. Haridāsa’s spiritual conviction and the reach of the holy name confront prejudice and temptation.
