ÅšrÄ«la RaghunÄtha dÄsa GosvÄmÄ« intended to go to Vá¹›ndÄvana to see the lotus feet of RÅ«pa and SanÄtana 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 SvarÅ«pa DÄmodara, RaghunÄtha dÄsa GosvÄmÄ« keenly felt separation from these two exalted personalities and therefore decided to give up his life by jumping from Govardhana Hill in Vá¹›ndÄvana. Before doing so, however, he wanted to see the lotus feet of ÅšrÄ«la RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« and SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«.
