Antya 9: The Deliverance of Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka

This Ninth Chapter is summarized as follows. Gopinatha Pattanayaka, the son of Bhavananda Raya, was engaged in the service of the government, but he misappropriated some funds from the treasury. Therefore the bada-jana, the eldest son of King Prataparudra, ordered that he be punished by death. Thus Gopinatha Pattanayaka was raised on the caṅga to be killed, but by the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu he was delivered. Moreover, he was even promoted to a higher post.
