Hey,

First its important to know the whole story.

The great teacher Govinda sat on a rock on the bank of the Ganga. His wealthy disciple, Raghunath came to him with a gift of emerald and gems studded golden bangles. After bowing to him, he offered him the costly gift.

The master teacher took one of the bangles and started twirling it round his finger. Suddenly, the costly bangle slipped from the master’s finger, and fell into the strong current of Ganga below. Raghunath, jumped after the bangle to retrieve it. The master teacher kept sitting peacefully on the rock. The bangle was lost in the water.

After a long search, Raghunath could not find the bangle and came back to the master. He asked him the exact place where the bangle had fallen. The master quite composedly took the another bangle and threw it into the exact place in the river where the former bangle had fallen.

The poem "Govinda" is an ethical tale that revolve around the connection of Govinda with his devote Raghunath . It is an unobstructive tale of investigate of realism that passes by for the sake of profound regard. it tells us that how a true master teaches his  student through the living examples about things.

Govinda sitting on the bank of river Jumna  ,shows his follower the significance of material renunciation to accomplish the divine life. His follower give him gold bangles as gift but Govinda became unhappy at this. He wants to show his absurd educate that the attachment to this type of material is genuine hindrance to divine gift. He fell one of the bangle in the river the follower jump into it to find it but came back with nothing in hand after spending so much effort and time. Then he asked his master to help him but instant the master throw another bangle in the river which give a shock to his follower. This is how he taught him that he was not fulfilling his inner self but not showing real respect for his master. what is left inferred is more persuasive and compelling.
