দামোদর আগে স্বাতন্ত্র্য না হয় কাহার ।
তার ভয়ে সবে করে সঙ্কোচ ব্যবহার ॥ ৪৪ ॥
damodara age svatantrya na haya kahara
tara bhaye sabe kare saṅkoca vyavahara
damodara age-in front of Damodara Pandita; svatantrya-independent behavior; na haya kahara-no one dares to do; tara bhaye-due to fear of him; sabe-all of them; kare-do; saṅkoca vyavahara-dealings with great care.
Everyone knew that Damodara Pandita was strict in practical dealings. Therefore everyone was afraid of him and dared not do anything independent.
