Text 13]HiraJ.IyakaSipu's Plan to Become Immortal139after that boy had by crooked means become Hussain Shah, Nawab ofBengal, one day his wife saw the mark on his back and inquired about it.The Nawab replied that in his childhood he had been a servant of SubuddhiRaya, who had punished him because of some mischievous activities.Upon hearing this, the Nawab's wife immediately became agitated andrequested her husband to kill Subuddhi Raya. Nawab Hussain Shah, ofcourse, was very grateful to Subuddhi Raya and therefore refused to killhim, but when his wife requested him to turn Subuddhi Raya into aMohammedan, the Nawab agreed. Taking some water from his waterpot,he sprinkled it upon Subuddhi Raya and declared that Subuddhi Rayahad now become a Mohammedan. The point is that this Nawab had beenan ordinary menial servant of Subuddhi Raya but was somehow or otherable to occupy the supreme post of Nawab of Bengal. This is the materialworld. Everyone is trying to become master through various devices, althougheveryone is servant of his senses. Following this system, a livingentity, although servant of his senses, tries to become master of thewhole universe. HiraQyakasipu was a typical example of this, andBrahmii was informed by the demigods of his intentions.TEXT 136'41Q;f flf ql(gti ·qij I fqtlltl "taviisanaril dvija-gavarilparame!hyaril jagat-patebhavaya sreyase bhutyaiemiiya vijayaya catava-your; iisanam-position on the throne; dvija-of thebrahminical culture or the brahma1J-as; gavam-of the cows;parame!hyam-supreme; jagat-pate-0 master of the whole universe;bhavaya-for improvement; sreyase-for the ultimate happiness;bhutyai-for increasing the opulence; emiiya-for the maintenanceand good fortune; vijayaya-for the victory and increasing prestige;ca-and.
