Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
The Lord says that hearing about the activities of materialistic persons agitates His mind.

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
