PURPORT
PGtasdha refers to the king. Nawab Hussain Shah, whose full name was Ala
Uddina Saiyada Husena Sa, was at that time (1498-1511) the independent King of
Bengal. Formerly he was the servant of the cruel Nawab of the Habst dynasty named
Mujahphara Khan, but somehow or other he assassinated his master and became the
King. After gaining the throne of Bengal (technically called Masnada), he declared
himself Saiyada Husena Ala Uddina Seripha Mukka. There is a book called Riyaja
Us-salatina, whose author, Golama Husena, says that Nawab Hussain Shah belonged
to the family of Mukka Seripha. To keep his family’s glory, he took the name
Seripha Mukka. Generally, however, he is known as Nawab Hussain Shah. After
his death, his eldest son, Nasaratsa, became King of Bengal (1521-1533). This
King also was very cruel. He committed many atrocities against the Vaisnavas. Asa
result of his sinful activities, one of his servants from the Khoja group kifled him
while he was praying in the mosque.
