The Deliverance of Gopinatha Pattanayaka This Ninth Chapter is summarized as follows.

Gopinatha Pattanayaka, the son of Bhavananda Raya, was engaged in the service of the government, but he misappropriated some funds from the treasury.

Therefore the bada-jana, the eldest son of King Prataparudra, ordered that he be punished by death.

Moreover, he was even promoted to a higher post.
