miśra kahe - Jagannātha Miśra replied; putra - my son; kene - may be; nahe - why not; nārāyaṇa - the Supreme Personality of Godhead; tathāpi - still; pitāra - of a father; dharma - the duty; putrera - of the son; śikṣaṇa - instruction.

Jagannātha Miśra replied, “Even if my son is not a common man but Nārāyaṇa, still it is the duty of a father to instruct his son.”
