Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta
[Antya-līlā, Ch. 16]
TRANSLATION
The Lord said again and again, “Only by great fortune may one come by a particle of the remnants of food offered to the Lord.” The servants of the Jagannātha temple inquired, “What is the meaning of this?”
PURPORT
The remnants of Kṛṣṇa’s food are mixed with His saliva. In the  Mahābhārata  and the  Skanda Purāṇa  it is stated:
mahā-prasāde govinde nāma-brahmaṇi vaiṣṇave svalpa-puṇyavatāṁ rājan viśvāso naiva jāyate
“Persons who are not very highly elevated in pious activities cannot believe in the remnants of food [ prasāda ] of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, nor in Govinda, the holy name of the Lord, nor in the Vaiṣṇavas.”
