Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
show favor to Bhattacharya, and was glad to see his desire fulfilled by Lord Chaitanya. In other words, a devotee of the Lord is more merciful than the Lord Himself. When a devotee desires to show his mercy to a person, the Lord accepts, and by His grace such a person becomes a devotee.
Lord Chaitanya pacified Bhattacharya and asked him to go home. Bhattacharya again began to praise the Lord and said, "You have descended Yourself to deliver all the fallen souls of this material world. That project is not so difficult for You, but You have turned a stonehearted man like me, and that is Your wonderful act. I am very expert at logical arguments and grammatical explanations of the Vedic process. I am as hard as a lump of iron. But Your influence and temperature is so strong that You could melt away even hard iron like me."
Lord Chaitanya then returned to His place and Bhattacharya, through Gopinath Acharya, sent various kinds of  Prasadam  from Jagannath temple. The next day, the Lord went to see the temple of Jagannath early in the morning, which is called  Mongalarati . The priests in the temple brought Him a garland from the deity and offered Him various kinds of  Prasadam . The Lord was very much pleased to receive them, and He at once went to the house of Bhattacharya, taking the  Prasadam  and the flowers to present to Bhattacharya. It was early in the morning, and Bhattacharya understood that the Lord had come and was knocking on his door. He at once rose up from his bed and began to say  Krishna, Krishna! , which was heard by Lord Chaitanya. And at once he came to the door and opened it and saw the Lord standing there. He was so pleased to see the Lord early in the morning, and wanted to receive Him with all care. He again offered Him a nice seat, and both of them sat there and Lord Chaitanya offered him the Prasadam which He had received in the temple of Jagannath. Bhattacharya was very glad to receive Prasadam from the hand of Lord Chaitanya, and without taking his bath and without performing his daily duties or washing his teeth he began immediately to eat the Prasadam. Actually, he was now freed from all contamination of material attachment; and he cited a verse from  Padma Purana  as he began to eat the Prasadam.
In the  Padma Purana  it is stated that when Prasadam is brought or is received, even if it has become very dry or it is even very old or brought from a distant place, as soon as it is received it must be eaten immediately, without following any of the rules or duties of one's daily activities. It is enjoined in the Shastras that Prasadam should be immediately taken, and there is no restriction of time and space—that is the order of the Supreme Personality
