Paragraph 4

In plain words

The day is the dark fifth of Phalgun, Thursday, the sixteenth of Chaitra: by the English reckoning the twenty-ninth of March, 1883. Bhagavan Sri Ramakrishna has eaten his midday meal and is taking a little rest. It is the same room at the Dakshineswar Kali temple that the reader already knows. In front of it, to the west, is the Ganges: the Ganges of the month of Chaitra. At two o'clock the tide has begun to come in. A few devotees have come, among them the Brahmo devotee Sri Amrita, and Sri Trailokya of the sweet voice, who has so often won the hearts of young and old alike by singing of God's play and glories in Keshab's Brahmo Samaj.
