*prathame*—in the beginning; *āchila*—it was; *nirbandha*—fixed; *kauḍi cāri-paṇa*—four *paṇas* of conchshells; *rāmacandra-purī-bhaye*—because of the restriction of Rāmacandra Purī; *ghāṭāilā*—decreased; *nimantraṇa*—the price of an invitation.

**At first the cost of Jagannātha prasāda for an invitation was four paṇas of conchshells, but when Rāmacandra Purī was there, the price was cut in half.**
