“ ‘Vibrating “Hari, Hari,†the Hindus make a tumultuous sound. If the king [pÄtasÄha] hears it, certainly he will punish you.’

Purport

PÄtasÄha refers to the king. Nawab Hussain Shah, whose full name was Ä€lÄ UddÄ«n Saiyad Husen SÄ, was at that time (A.D. 1498-1521) the independent King of Bengal. Formerly he was the servant of the cruel Nawab of the HÄbsÄ« dynasty named Mujaḥphara KhÄn, but somehow or other he assassinated his master and became the King. After gaining the throne of Bengal (technically called Masnada), he declared himself Saiyad Husen Ä€lÄ UddÄ«n Seriph MukkÄ. There is a book called RiyÄja Us-salÄtina, whose author, GolÄm Husen, says that Nawab Hussain Shah belonged to the family of MukkÄ Seriph. To keep his family’s glory, he took the name Seriph MukkÄ. Generally, however, he is known as Nawab Hussain Shah. After his death, his eldest son, NasaratsÄ, became King of Bengal (A.D. 1521-1533). This King also was very cruel. He committed many atrocities against the Vaiṣṇavas. As a result of his sinful activities, one of his servants from the KhojÄ group killed him while he was praying in the mosque.
