He was also politician, he could understand that in the presence of Ramsingha the Shivaji fled away from the Fort. So there is some intrigue and he became very angry and as a reaction he broke the temple constructed in Vṛndāvana by Man, his grandfather Mansingh. That is the history of breaking the temple of Govindaji. So sometimes these politics and between the Mohammedan rulers and the Hindu chiefs were going on.
So he is also afraid that, "If I release you then what will be my condition?" That means because he was Minister, he was taking advice from him, how I can protect myself?
- sanātana kahe, "tumi nā kara rāja-bhaya
- (CC Madhya 20.10)
Sanātana replied, Sanātana Gosvāmī that even he was not clear about. I shall give you some advice how to get out.
- dakṣiṇa giyāche yadi leuṭi' āoyaya
- (CC Madhya 20.10)
Formerly, a still in India the practice is that people go to evacuate in the fields. So he says that you will tell to the Nawab that Sanātana was allowed to go to evacuate himself in the fields.
- tāṅhāre kahio—sei bāhya-kṛtye gela
- (CC Madhya 20.11)
To evacuate, he went to evacuate himself.
- gaṅgāra nikaṭa gaṅgā dekhi' jhāṅpa dila
- (CC Madhya 20.11)
But suddenly from the bank of the Ganges he jumped over. Sanātana līlā.
- aneka dekhila, tāra lāg nā pāila
- (CC Madhya 20.12)
I enquired so much but I could not trace him:
- lāg nā pāila.
- dāḍukā-sahita ḍubi kāhāṅ vahi' gela
- (CC Madhya 20.12)
He was, what is call? Handcuffed; and because he jumped he could not swim so by the waves of the Ganges he was carried away. I could not save him. "You tell the Nawab like this." So he, he thought it is nice, wise advice. So he took the money, dāḍukā saiva.
- kichu bhaya nāhi, āmi e-deśe nā raba
- (CC Madhya 20.13)
And don't be afraid. I am leaving this country for good. Nobody will be able to trace me. Just like Subhash Ghosh left this country. So similarly the Sanātana Gosvāmī did. He was also helped by the then Minister Mira Murji.
- kichu bhaya nāhi, āmi e-deśe nā raba
- daraveśa hañāāmi makkāke yāiba"
- (CC Madhya 20.13)
That I'll become a dervish and I shall go to Mecca. So the superintendent jail agreed.
