PLATE SEVEN
"On the pretext of bad health, Sanātana Gosvāmī remained home. Thus he gave up government service and did not go to the royal court. The greedy masters of his clerical and secretarial staff performed the government duties while Sanātana personally remained home and discussed the revealed scriptures. Śrī Sanātana Gosvāmī used to discuss  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  in an assembly of twenty or thirty learned  brāhmaṇa  scholars. While Sanātana Gosvāmī was studying  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam  in the assembly of learned  brāhmaṇas , one day the Nawab of Bengal and another person suddenly appeared. As soon as all the  brāhmaṇas  and Sanātana Gosvāmī saw the Nawab appear, they all stood up and respectfully gave him a sitting place to honor him. The Nawab said, 'I sent my physician to you, and he has reported that you are not diseased. As far as he could see, you are completely healthy. I am depending on you to carry out so many of my activities, but you have given up your governmental duties to sit here at home. You have spoiled all my activities. What is your intention? Please tell me frankly.'" (pp.252-258)
