Although Nawab Hussain Shah was a mleccha-yavana, he was nonetheless the governor of the country, and the learned scholars and Sanātana Gosvāmī offered him all the respect due a king or a governor. When a person occupies an exalted executive post, one should consider that he has acquired the grace of the Lord. In the Bhagavad-gītā ([[Vanisource:BG 10.41|BG 10.41]]) Lord Kṛṣṇa says:

<div class="quote_verse">
:yad yad vibhūtimat sattvaṁ śrīmad ūrjitam eva vā</dd><dd>tat tad evāvagaccha tvaṁ mama tejo-‘ṁśa-sambhavam
</div>

“Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.”Whenever we see something exalted, we must consider it part of the power of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. A powerful man (vibhūtimat sattvam) is one who has obtained the grace of the Lord or has derived some power from Him. In the Bhagavad-gītā ([[Vanisource:BG 7.10|BG 7.10]]) Kṛṣṇa says, tejas tejasvinām aham: “I am the power of the powerful.” The learned brāhmaṇa scholars showed respect to Nawab Hussain Shah because he represented a fraction of Kṛṣṇa’s power.
