came to ask Jagadisa and Hiranya for the prasdda, they were a little astonished.
How could the boy understand that special praséda was being prepared for Lord
Visnu? They immediately concluded that the boy Nimai must have supernatural
mystic power. Otherwise how could He understand that they were preparing special
prasada? Therefore they immediately sent the foodstuffs to Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu through His father, Jagannatha Misra. Nimai was feeling sick, but
immediately after eating the visnu-pras@da He was cured, and He also distributed
the prasdda among His playmates.
