Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Haridāsa Ṭhākura told her that he would be able to finish his chanting that day.
He said that afterward he would satisfy all her desires, keeping the completion of his chanting first.
The surrounding account explains that he did not seek enjoyment with her. His intention was to give her the opportunity to hear the holy name and become purified.
Steadfast compassion. Haridāsa’s spiritual conviction and the reach of the holy name confront prejudice and temptation.
