PURPORT

Minaketana Ramadasa was a great devotee of Lord Nityananda. When he entered
the house of Krsnadasa Kaviraja, Gunarnava Misra, the priest who was worshiping
the Deity installed in the house, did not receive him very well. A similar event
occurred when Romaharsana-sita was speaking to the great assembly of sages at
Naimisaranya. Lord Baladeva entered that great assembly, but since Romaharsana-
sita was on the vydsdsana, he did not get down to offer respect to Lord Baladeva.
The behavior of Gunarnava Misra indicated that he had no great respect for Lord
Nityananda, and this idea was not at all palatable to Minaketana Ramadasa. For
this reason the mentality of Minaketana Ramadasa is never deprecated by devotees.
