আর বার ঐছে না খাইহ রাজধন ।
আজি হৈতে দিলুঁ তোমায় দ্বিগুণ বর্তন ।।” ১০৬ ।। ॥ ১০৬ ॥
āra bāra aiche nā khāiha rāja-dhana

“Do not again misappropriate the revenue of the government. In case you think your salary insufficient, henceforward it will be doubled.”
Read this verse on Vedabase.ioThis verse has no purport; its meaning is explained by the verses around it.
Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The King clearly told Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka not to misappropriate government revenue again.
He also addressed the possibility that Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka considered his salary insufficient.
His salary would henceforward be doubled, while the instruction against misusing revenue remained clear.
Fear turned to relief. A threatened execution ends in rescue and restored possibility.

Śrīla Prabhupāda's summary of this chapter:
The ninth chapter is summarized as follows. Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka, the son of Bhavānanda Rāya, was engaged in the service of the government, but he misappropriated some funds from the treasury. Therefore the baḍa-jānā, the eldest son of King Pratāparudra, ordered that he be punished by death. Thus Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka was raised on the cāṅga to be killed, but by the mercy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu he was delivered. Moreover, he was even promoted to a higher post.Back to this verse in Antya 9
