Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami intended to go to Vrndavana to see the lotus feet of Rupa and Sanatana and then give up his life by jumping from Govardhana Hill.
PURPORT
Jumping from the top of Govardhana Hill is a system of suicide especially performed by saintly persons.
After the disappearance of Lord Caitanya and Svarupa Damodara, Raghunatha dasa Gosvami keenly felt separation from these two exalted personalities and therefore decided to give up his life by jumping from Govardhana Hill in Vrndavana.
Before doing so, however, he wanted to see the lotus feet of Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami.
