Lord Caitanya Meets Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī
215
cāṭa-taṣkara-durvṛttair mahā-sāhasikādibhiḥ pīḍyamānā prajā rakṣet kāyasthaiś ca viśeṣtaḥ
From this verse it appears that the governmental officials of the  kāyastha  community would sometimes chastise the citizens, and thus it was the duty of the king to protect the people in general from the atrocities of the  kāyasthas . In Bengal the  kāyastha  community is honored almost as much as the  brāhmaṇa  community, but in the up-country of India the  kāyasthas  are considered  śūdras  because they generally eat meat and drink wine. In any case, from history the  kāyasthas  appear very intelligent. Thus the Mohammedan  caudhurī  was afraid of Raghunātha dāsa because he belonged to the  kāyastha  community.
