TRANSLATION
Although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was thinking that the quantity of
food was enormous, Nityananda Prabhu, on the contrary, thought it not
even a morsel. He had been fasting for three days and had greatly hoped
to break fast on that day. Indeed, He said, ‘‘Although | am invited to eat by
Advaita Acarya, today also is a fast. So small a quantity of foodstuffs will
not even fill half of My belly.”
