Text 89] The Chastisement of Junior Haridasa 165
TRANSLATION
Bhagavan Acarya prepared varieties of rice and vegetables at home and
brought the Lord there alone to eat.
PURPORT
Generally those who invited Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for dinner used to offer
Him the remnants of food that had first been offered to Lord Jagannatha.
Bhagavan Acarya, however, instead of giving Him the remnants of Jagannatha’s
food, prepared dinner at his home. In Orissa, food offered to Lord Jagannatha is
called prasadi, and that which is not offered to Lord Jagannatha is known as amani
or ghara-bhata, rice prepared at home.
