Narahari Chakravarti, a Brahmin author, wrote a life of Narottam, a Çūdra, with feelings verging on worship. Such a thing had been inconceivable with the orthodox community of the period and yet became too true, shewing that a new life had dawned in this land, awakening men to a right appreciation of the value of character and spirituality amongst men in preference to caste-honour. Narahari, the Brahmin, often declared himself eager to take the dust of the feet of Narottam, a Çūdra.
