Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Lord Nityānanda said that Rāmacandra Khān had spoken rightly.
He declared that the place was unfit for Him.
He described it instead as fit for cow-killing meat-eaters. His words sharply condemned the place from which He had been directed away.
Steadfast compassion. Haridāsa’s spiritual conviction and the reach of the holy name confront prejudice and temptation.
