ṭhākura kahe, — “aiche bāt kahite nā yuyāya
āmi — nīca-jāti, tumi — susajjana rāya”
ṭhākura kahe — Jhaḍu Ṭhākura said; aiche bāt — such a request; kahite nā yuyāya — should not be spoken; āmi — I; nīca-jāti — coming from a family of a very low caste; tumi — you; su-sat-jana rāya — very respectable and rich gentleman.
Jhaḍu Ṭhākura replied, “It does not befit you to ask this of me. I belong to a very low-caste family, whereas you are a respectable rich gentleman.”
