*saba*—all; *deśa*—countries; *bhraṣṭa*—spoiled; *kaila*—has; *ekalā*—alone; *nimāñi*—Nimāi Paṇḍita; *brāhmaṇa*—a caste *brāhmaṇa*; *mārite*—to strike; *cāhe*—He wants; *dharma*—of religious principles; *bhaya*—fear; *nāi*—there is not.

**"Nimāi Paṇḍita alone has spoiled the entire country," they accused. "He wants to strike a caste brāhmaṇa. He has no fear of religious principles.**

In those days also, the caste *brāhmaṇas* were very proud. They were not prepared to accept chastisement even from a teacher or spiritual master.
