শুনি’ হরিদাস তবে উঠিয়া চলিলা ।

majumadāra sei vipre tyāga karilā

Haridāsa Ṭhākura gets up to leave the assembly.
The Majumadāras, who are Gopāla Cakravartī’s masters, immediately expel him.
They also dismiss him from their service. In this account, his insult is followed by a concrete loss of employment.
Steadfast compassion. Haridāsa’s spiritual conviction and the reach of the holy name confront prejudice and temptation.
