the person who accepts such an offering; dunhara—of both of them; malina—
contaminated; haya mana—the mind becomes.
TRANSLATION
“‘When one accepts an invitation from a person contaminated by the ma-
terial mode of passion, the person who offers the food and the person who ac-
cepts it are both mentally contaminated.
PURPORT
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that there are three varieties of invitations—
those in the mode of goodness, those in passion and those in ignorance. An in-
vitation accepted from a pure devotee is in the mode of goodness, an invitation
accepted from a person who is pious but materially attached is in the mode of
passion, and an invitation accepted from a person who is materially very sinful is
in the mode of ignorance.
