pralotas Girvydas

Introduced as the host (pralotas) of the Naujapolis indulgence, a literate lord concerned with clergy economics and discipline. Girvydas hosts a Naujapolio indulgence, interrogates Vasaris about local clergy scandals, and encourages him to follow Maironis' literary example. Girvydas, characterized as a "pralotas", engages Vasaris in a conversation about church leadership and criticizes Ramutis. Girvydas, a cunning and broad‑minded noble, summons Vasaris to Naujapol and manipulates him with prophetic talk of war and a proposal to study in Russia. Girvydas encourages Vasaris to go to the Academy, arranges necessary documents, and shares his fatalistic views on the war’s progression.
