You can't have any mercy.

I will not. You're going to rend my devotee.

I won't give you any mercy. You have defended my devotion. You have offended my devotee.

He went to see us. He had to forgive this with Chapal Gopal.

So he went to Srivas and told him that he had to forgive Chhapal Gopal.

How can I be offended? I don't lower the stool.

How can I be offended? I'm lower than the stool.

The worries were how our mother Satchi, she's acting her mother. How Sri Naga Lovaka devotees were like.

How Mother Saji, she's a mother. How she couldn't get love of Krishna.

Oh well. When my brother played Sannyas, she said, Nadi brother, the Adria Acharya preaching.

When my brother took Sannyas, Lord, it may be heard because of the great Acharya's preaching.

So this way she had offended him.
