Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Antya 3.147
বৈষ্ণবধর্ম নিন্দা করে, বৈষ্ণব-অপমান ।
বহুদিনের অপরাধে পাইল পরিণাম ॥ ১৪৭ ॥
vaiṣṇava-dharma nindā kare, vaiṣṇava-apamāna
bahu-dinera aparādhe pāila pariṇāma
Because of blaspheming the cult of Vaiṣṇavism and insulting the devotees for a long time, he now received the results of his offensive activities.
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Rāmacandra Khān had long blasphemed Vaiṣṇavism and insulted devotees. He now received the results of those offensive activities.
Although Rāvaṇa was born to a brāhmaṇa father, Viśvaśravā, he was called an asura or Rākṣasa because of his offenses against Lord Rāmacandra (Viṣṇu) and Hanumān, a Vaiṣṇava.
Similarly, Rāmacandra Khān became an asura through his offenses against Haridāsa Ṭhākura and many others. His conduct, rather than any claim of status, determined this description.
Śrīla Prabhupāda's own sentences, chosen from the purport as its central points. Read the full purport on Vedabase to see them in place.
Steadfast compassion. Haridāsa’s spiritual conviction and the reach of the holy name confront prejudice and temptation.
