He's such a position, minister, drawing high salary, and association all the big, big men of the country or the society. But he gave them up—sadā tuccha-vat, that "What is the use of this?" This is called vairāgya. Tyaktvā tūrṇam, "very soon." Tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīm. Not only one; many, many big men were flattering them.

The Gosvāmīs, they were ministers. They were not ordinary men, Rūpa Gosvāmī, Sanātana Gosvāmī. Practically they were governing the whole affairs of government at that time, a very exalted post. So about them also, it is written by Śrīnivāsācārya, tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ sadā tuccha-vat (Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka 4). Aśeṣa-maṇḍala. Maṇḍala-pati means big, big leaders, big, big leaders of the society. He was minister, so he was associating with big, big men, not ordinary men. But he gave up. He's such a position, minister, drawing high salary, and association all the big, big men of the country or the society. But he gave them up—sadā tuccha-vat, that "What is the use of this?" This is called vairāgya. Tyaktvā tūrṇam, "very soon." Tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīm. Not only one; many, many big men were flattering them. Tyaktvā tūrṇam aśeṣa-maṇḍala-pati-śreṇīṁ sadā tuccha-vat. Then what he became? Bhūtvā dīna-gaṇeśakau karuṇayā kaupīna-kanthāśritau (Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka 4). They are so affectionate for the poor, suffering souls. Bhūtvā dīna-gaṇeśakau karuṇayā. So Vaiṣṇava is very, very merciful. They are merciful to the fallen souls. Their only concern is how to deliver these fallen souls. They are under the clutches of māyā, suffering. So various means adopting, just try to save them. This is Vaiṣṇava business. Nānā-śāstra-vicā raṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthāpakau lokānāṁ hita-kāriṇau (Ṣaḍ-gosvāmy-aṣṭaka 2). These Gosvāmīs, they were studying so many books, Vedic literature, and found out the cream, how to establish . . . nānā-śāstra-vicāraṇaika-nipuṇau sad-dharma-saṁsthā . . . sad-dharma, not cheating dharma. Dharma means religion. Real religion, sad-dharma. So the sad-dharma.
