TRANSLATION
“My dear Lord, I have invited all the sannyāsīs of Benares to my home. My desires will be fulfilled if You also accept my invitation.
PURPORT
This  brāhmaṇa  knew that Caitanya Mahāprabhu was the only Vaiṣṇava  sannyāsī  in Benares at that time and all the others were Māyāvādīs. It is the duty of a  gṛhastha  to sometimes invite  sannyāsīs  to take food at his home. This  gṛhastha-brāhmaṇa  wanted to invite all the  sannyāsīs  to his house, but he also knew that it would be very difficult to induce Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to accept such an invitation because the Māyāvādī  sannyāsīs  would be present. Therefore he fell down at His feet and fervently appealed to the Lord to be compassionate and grant his request. Thus he humbly submitted his desire.
