Chapter 25: How All the Residents of Varanasi Became Vaishnavas. Text 210

ethÄ sanÄtana gosÄñi prayÄge ÄsiyÄ
mathurÄ ÄilÄ sarÄna rÄja-patha diyÄ

 ethÄ - here (at the other end); sanÄtana gosÄñi - SanÄtana GosÄñi; prayÄge ÄsiyÄ - coming to PrayÄga; mathurÄ ÄilÄ - he reached Vá¹›ndÄvana; sarÄna - directly; rÄja-patha diyÄ - on the government road or public road.


Text

After reaching PrayÄga, SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«, following the order of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu, went to Vá¹›ndÄvana along the public road.

Purport

This is especially significant because when SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ« went from Bengal to Benares, due to the political situation he did not go along the public road. After meeting ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu at Benares, however, he was ordered to proceed to Vá¹›ndÄvana along the public road leading to MathurÄ. In other words, he was advised not to fear for his political situation.
