Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta · Text Antya 3.208
তবে সে হিরণ্যদাস নিজ ঘরে আইল ।
সেই ব্রাহ্মণে নিজ দ্বার-মানা কৈল ॥ ২০৮ ॥
tabe se hiraṇya-dāsa nija ghare āila
sei brāhmaṇe nija dvāra-mānā kaila

Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Hiraṇya dāsa Majumadāra returned to his home after the assembly.
He ordered that Gopāla Cakravartī not be admitted there.
Although Haridāsa Ṭhākura had responded without blame, Hiraṇya dāsa Majumadāra did not continue to welcome Gopāla Cakravartī into his home.
Steadfast compassion. Haridāsa’s spiritual conviction and the reach of the holy name confront prejudice and temptation.
