“Lord Caitanya has descended to deliver the fallen<br />
people of this age. Where will He find anyone more<br />
fallen than these two? The Lord has not yet revealed<br />
Himself to the ordinary people. Not seeing His uncommon<br />
influence, they are ridiculing Him. If the Lord bestows<br />

these two drunkards are. They were born in a brähmaëa<br />
family, but their behavior is most sinful. They will be unable to<br />
escape the most severe punishments of Yamaräja.<br />
“Dear Haridäsa, the Muslims beat you so severely that you<br />
almost died. Still, you desired the welfare of such people in your<br />
mind. If you really desire these drunkards’ welfare in your heart,<br />
surely they will be delivered. The Lord never ignores your will.<br />
He has often confirmed this fact. Let the people of the entire<br />
