Antya-līlā, Chapter 9, Text 91

নিজ-কৌড়ি মাগে, রাজা নাহি করে দণ্ড ।
রাজা — মহাধার্মিক, এই হয় পাপী ভণ্ড ! ৯১ ।। ॥ ৯১ ॥

nija-kauḍi māge, rājā nāhi kare daṇḍa
rājā — mahā-dhārmika, ei haya pāpī bhaṇḍa!

Word by word

nija-kauḍi — his own money; māge — demands; rājā — the King; nāhi kare daṇḍa — does not punish; rājā — the King; mahā-dhārmika — very religious; ei — this man; haya — is; pāpī — sinful; bhaṇḍa — cheat.

Translation

“The King wanted his revenue paid and did not want to enforce punishment. Therefore the King is certainly very religious. But Gopīnātha Paṭṭanāyaka is a great cheat.”
