CHAPTER 9
The Deliverance of Gopinatha Pattanayaka
This Ninth Chapter is summarized as follows. Gopinatha Pattandyaka, the son of
Bhavananda Raya, was engaged in the service of the government, but he misap-
propriated some funds from the treasury. Therefore the bada-jand, the eldest son
of King Prataparudra, ordered that he be punished by death. Thus Gopinatha Pat-
tanayaka was raised on the canga to be killed, but by the mercy of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu he was delivered. Moreover, he was even promoted to a higher
post.
