Paragraph 23

In plain words

Just north of the Paramahamsa's room is a square verandah, and north of that a garden path; beyond it another flower garden, and then the nahabat, the music tower. In the room on the ground floor of the nahabat lived his aged mother, now passed away, whom he revered above all, and later Holy Mother. Past the nahabat are the bakul tree and its bathing ghat, where the women of the neighbourhood bathe. At this ghat the Paramahamsa's aged mother gave up her body to the Ganges, in 1877.
