हेन रसे पाछे हय दुःखेर प्रकाश अतएव ना कहिला प्रभुर सन्न्यास ॥ २८ ॥
hena rase pāche haya duḥkhera prakāśa ataeva nā kahilā prabhura sannyāsa || 28 ||
hena rase pache haya duhkhera prakasa ataeva na kahila prabhura sannyasa (28)

(28) The brāhmaṇa did not mention anything about the Lord’s accepting sannyāsa out of fear for creating a distressful condition amidst the joyous occasion.

Although the brāhmaṇa foresaw auspicious symptoms indicating the Lord’s acceptance of sannyāsa, out of fear of disturbing the festive atmosphere he did not disclose this unhappy news.
