Three study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Later, Hussain Khān was appointed Nawab by the central Muslim government.
The translation says this happened “somehow or other,” without explaining the circumstances.
As a matter of obligation, he increased Subuddhi Rāya’s opulences. His new position did not erase his sense of obligation.
Reconciliation and broad mercy. Opponents turn toward bhakti; the Lord returns to Purī and embraces devotees.
