keha kahe, — ei nahe, 'alpa' doá¹£a haya
Å›uniyÄ rahilÄ rÄya kariyÄ samÅ›aya
keha kahe - some of the learned brÄhmaṇas said; ei - this; nahe - not; alpa - insignificant; doá¹£a - fault; haya - is; Å›uniyÄ - hearing; rahilÄ - remained; rÄya - Subuddhi RÄya; kariyÄ - making; samÅ›aya - doubt.
This is another instance of Hindu custom. One brÄhmaṇa would give advice condoning a particular fault, and another would give advice to the contrary. Typically, lawyers and physicians differ, giving one kind of instruction and then another. Due to the brÄhmaṇas’ different opinions, Subuddhi RÄya became further perplexed. He did not know what to do or what not to do.
