When RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« arrived at MathurÄ, Subuddhi RÄya, out of love and affection for him, wanted to serve him in so many ways. He personally took RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« to see all the twelve forests of Vá¹›ndÄvana.

Purport

ÅšrÄ«la RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« had been a minister in the government of Hussain Shah, and Subuddhi RÄya was also known to Hussain Shah because, as a boy, the Shah had been Subuddhi RÄya’s servant. It appears that Subuddhi RÄya was elderly, yet while he was living in MathurÄ he showed RÅ«pa GosvÄmÄ« the twelve forests of Vá¹›ndÄvana.
