TRANSLATION

When the Mohammedan King asked his assistant, Kesava Chatri, for news of the influence of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Kesava Chatri, although knowing everything about Caitanya Mahaprabhu, tried to avoid the conversation by not giving any importance to Caitanya Mahaprabhu's activities.

PURPORT

Kesava Chatri became a diplomat when questioned about Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Although he knew everything about Him, he was afraid that the Mohammedan King might become His enemy. He gave no importance to the Lord's activities, so that the Mohammedan King would take Him to be an ordinary man and would not give Him any trouble.
