TEXT 19

pātsāha dekhiyā sabe sambhrame uṭhilā

sambhrame āsana diyā rājāre vasāilā

SYNONYMS

pātsāha dekhiyā—seeing the Nawab; sabe—all of them; sambhrame—in great respect; uṭhilā—stood up; sambhrame—with great respect; āsana diyā—giving a sitting place; rājāre—the King; vasāilā—made to sit.

TRANSLATION

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.

PURPORT

Although Nawab Hussain Shah was a mleccha-yavana, he was nonetheless the governor of the country, and the learned scholars and Sanātana Gosvāmī offered him all the respect due a king or a governor. When a person occupies an exalted executive post, one should consider that he has acquired the grace of the Lord. In Bhagavad-gītā it is said:

yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁ

śrīmad ūrjitam eva vā

tat tad evāvagaccha tvaṁ

mama tejo 'ṁśa-saṁbhavam

"Know that all beautiful, glorious and mighty creations spring from but a spark of My splendor." (Bg. 10.41)

Whenever we see something exalted, we must consider it part of the power of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. A powerful man (vibhūtimat sattvam) is one who has obtained the grace of the Lord or has derived some power from Him. In Bhagavad-gītā (7.10) Kṛṣṇa says, tejas tejasvinām aham: "I am the power of the powerful." The learned brāhmaṇa scholars showed respect to Nawab Hussain Shah because he represented a fraction of Kṛṣṇa's power.
