Govardhana Charitam. Vol III Book VII Chp 22 Shlokas 19 - 22
कदाचिद्विष्णुदासोपि विरक्तो विजितेन्द्रियः |
तौ दम्पती च सन्त्यज्य तपः क्वचिद्गतः ||
विनष्टे साधुसङ्गे तु पुण्ये गोवर्धनो बत |
दुष्टसङ्गमवापैव धर्मात्मापि यदृच्छया ||
अचिरेणैव कालेन दुष्टसङ्गमवाप्य सः |
न सस्मार गृहं भार्यां विष्णुदासं तथा गुरुम् ||
मधुपानं सदा कुर्वन् मदालसविलोचनः |
वीथ्यां चचार मत्तोsयं प्रलपन् बहुधा बत ||
At one time, Vishnudasa the ascetic mahatma who had subdued his senses completely left that couple and started on a journey in order to engage in severe penances. Thus Govardhana lost the association of the sadhu. Though he was righteous, he got caught in the company of the wicked. Due to bad company he forgot his family, his house and his guru, within a short period. With eyes turned red due to continuous drinking, he roamed about the streets babbling something.
