Text 218]
Sanātana Gosvāmī Visits the Lord
105
TRANSLATION
The brothers met at Vṛndāvana, where they stayed to execute the will of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
PURPORT
śrī-caitanya-mano-'bhīṣṭaṁ 
  sthāpitaṁ yena bhū-tale 
  svayaṁ rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁ 
  dadāti sva-padāntikam
“When will Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, who has established within the material world the mission to fulfill the desire of Lord Caitanya, give me shelter under his lotus feet?” Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī were previously ministers directly in charge of the government of Nawab Hussain Shah, and they were also householders, but later they became  gosvāmīs . A  gosvāmī , therefore, is one who executes the will of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. The title “ gosvāmī ” is not an inherited designation; it is meant for a person who has controlled his sense gratification and dedicated his life to executing the order of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Therefore Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī and Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī became genuine  gosvāmīs  after dedicating their lives to the service of the Lord.
