Эта история о преданном Господа Чайтанйа, которого звали

Суббудхи Рай.

187

Formerly Subudhi Raya had been a big landholder in Gayda-

desa(Bengal) Saiyada Hussain Khan was then a servant of Subbudhi Raya.

188

Subuddhi Raya put Hussain Khan in charge of digging a big lake, but,

once, finding fault with him, he struck him with a whip.

189

Later Hussain Khan somehow or other was appointed Navab by the

central Mohammedan goverment. As a matter of obligation ,

he increased the opulences of Subuddhi Raya.

190

Later, when the wife of Nawab Saiyada Hussain Khan saw the whip

marks on his body, she requested him to kill Subuddhi Raya.

191

Hussain Khan replied, "Subuddhi Raya has maintained me very

carefully. He was just like a father to me, "he said. "Now

you are asking me to kill him. This is not a very good proposal."

192

As a last alternative, the wife suggested that the Nawab take away

Subuddhi Rayas caste and turn him into a Mohammedan, but Hussain

Khan replied that if he did this, Subbuddhi Raya would not live.

193

This became a perplexing problem for him because his wife kept

requesting him to kill Subuddhi Raya. Finally the Nawab sprinkled

a little water on Subuddhi Raya`s

head from a pitcher that had been used by a Mohammedan.

194

Taking the Nawab`s sprinkling water upon him as an opportunity,

Subuddhi Raya left his family and business affairs and went to Varanasi.

195

When Subuddhi Raya consulted the learned brahmanas at Varanasi, asking

them how his conversion to Mohammedanism could be counteracted, they

advised him to drink hot dhee and give up his life.

196

When Subuddhi Raya consulted some other brahmanas, they told him

that he had not committed a grievous fault and that consequently

he should not drink hot ghee and give up his life. As a result,

Subuddhi Raya was doubtfull about that to do.

197

In his state of perplexity, Subuddhi Raya met Sri Caitainya

Mahaprabhhu when the Lord was at Varanasi. Subuddhi Raya explained

his position and asked Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu what he should do.

198

The Lord advised him, "Go to Vrndavana and chant the Hare Krshna

mantra constantly."
