Text 101] —_ Lord Caitanya at the House of Advaita Acarya 293

TRANSLATION

Nityananda Prabhu replied: “These are the remnants of food left by
Lord Krsna. If You take them to be ordinary remnants, You have commit-
ted an offense.”

PURPORT

In the Brhad-visnu Purana it is stated that one who considers mahda-prasada
to be equal to ordinary rice and dahl certainly commits a great offense. Ordi-
nary edibles are touchable and untouchable, but there are no such dualistic
considerations where prasdda is concerned. Prasada is transcendental, and
there are no transformations or contaminations, just as there are no con-
taminations or transformations in the body of Lord Visnu Himself. Thus even
if one is a brahmana he is certain to be attacked by leprosy and bereft of all
family members if he makes such dualistic considerations. Such an offender
goes to hell, never to return. This is the injunction of the Brhad-visnu Purana.
