314 Sri-Caitanya-caritamrta
TRANSLATION
Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami intended to go to Vrndavana to see the lotus feet
of Ripa and Sanatana and then give up his life by jumping from Govardhana Hill.
PURPORT
Jumping from the top of Govardhana Hil! is a system of suicide especially per-
formed by saintly persons. After the disappearance of Lord Caitanya and Svartpa
Damodara, Raghunatha dasa Gosvami keenly felt the separation of these two
exalted personalities and therefore decided to give up his life by jumping from
Govardhana Hill in Vendavana. Before doing so, however, he wanted to see the
lotus feet of Srila Rapa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami.
