CC Madhya 25.210

Bengali

এথা সনাতন গোসাঞি প্রয়াগে আসিয়া ।
মথুরা আইলা সরান রাজপথ দিয়া ॥ ২১০ ॥

Text

ethā sanātana gosāñi prayāge āsiyā
mathurā āilā sarāna rāja-patha diyā

Synonyms

ethā — here (at the other end); sanātana gosāñi — Sanātana Gosāñi; prayāge āsiyā — coming to Prayāga; mathurā āilā — he reached Vṛndāvana; sarāna — directly; rāja-patha diyā — on the government road or public road.

Translation

After reaching Prayāga, Sanātana Gosvāmī, following the order of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, went to Vṛndāvana along the public road.

Purport

This is especially significant because when Sanātana Gosvāmī went from Bengal to Benares, due to the political situation he did not go along the public road. After meeting Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu at Benares, however, he was ordered to proceed to Vṛndāvana along the public road leading to Mathurā. In other words, he was advised not to fear for his political situation.
