Text 118] Lord Caitanya Accepts Prasada 253
TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied, “Why are you so foolishly unhappy?
Bring here to Me whatever they have given you.”
PURPORT
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains that the word adi-vasya refers to one who
has been living with another for a very long time. Govinda was addressed as dadi-
vasyad because he had been living with Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for a very long
time, whereas other devotees, who were mostly new, would come and go. In
effect, the Lord told Govinda, ‘Since you have been living with Me for a long time,
you should not be foolishly disappointed in this situation. Bring all the food to Me,
and you will see that | can eat it.”
