The matter was brought to their uncle, Gokulanātha, who reiterated Viṭṭhalanātha's order that the descendants of Yadunātha had the right to worship Bālakr̥ṣṇa independently if and when they desired.

Dvārakeśa accepted Bālakr̥ṣṇa on the condition that Madhusūdana would not ask for it back, to which Gokulanātha drafted a written contract which was signed by the parties.

After studying in the city for several years, Dvārakānātha returned to Gokul and had a dream in which Kr̥ṣṇa informed him he had committed the fault of anyāśraya by seeking the refuge of Sarasvatī and was thus now longer fit for his service.

After touring various temples, he was impressed by the service rendered to Dvarakādhīśa and became a disciple of Giridhara and granted him the village of Āsoṭiyā in Mewar.

[13][14] Due to the incident with Dvārakānātha, Giridhara or his daughter-in-law Jānakī adopted a distant nephew named Brajabhūṣaṇa (born Prāṇavallabha) in 1660.

Giridhara soon died, and with Brajabhūṣaṇa being a minor, the service of Dvārakādhīśa and Bālakr̥ṣṇa and ancestral property was managed by Gaṁgā Beṭī and Jānakī Bahū.

He took the matter to Mughal court in Agra (Āgarā), where he lost and had to sign a deed-of-release acknowledging Brajabhūṣaṇa as the rightful heir.

Upon returning to Gokul, Brajarāya hired a band of thieves to steal Dvārakādhīśa, Bālakr̥ṣṇa, and a pair of sandals that had belonged to Vallabha in the middle of the night and took them all to Agra.

It was also during this time that Brajabhūṣaṇa finally received a formal copper plate grant for the village of Āsoṭiyā from Mahārāṇā Rājasiṁha I, son and successor of Jagatasiṁha.

After pleasing the thirsty emperor with a glass of water, he was able to get a written order from Aurangzeb that he should be granted ownership of Bālakr̥ṣṇa.

Eventually locating the house, with the aid of imperial troops, he forcefully entered the basement where the idols were being worshipped and seized Bālakr̥ṣṇa who was being rocked in a cradle by Gaṁgā Beṭī, Jānakī, and Brajabhūṣaṇa.

Brajarāya then took Bālakr̥ṣṇa to Surat (Sūrata), where his descendants would make a rival claim to the title of the Sixth House, based on the fact they held the deity first bestowed upon Yadunātha.

There exists a Gujarati treaty between all parties and the famous Harirāya that ended the conflict status quo post bellum, which may have been forged by Brajarāya himself.
