Paragraph 15

In plain words

Going up the stairs, the Master enters with the devotees the very first room, the one directly north of the landing. Vidyasagar is sitting at the north side of the room, facing south, with a long, polished rectangular table before him. Along the east side of the table stands a bench with a back-rest; on the south and west sides are some chairs. Vidyasagar had been talking with one or two friends.
