Verse 71 of 158
Cc Ādi 10.71

এই দুইঘরে প্রভু একাদশী দিনে বিষ্ণুর নৈবেদ্য মাগিঽ খাইল আপনে

एइ दुइघरे प्रभु एकादशी दिने विष्णुर नैवेद्य मागिऽ खाइल आपने

ei dui-ghare prabhu ekādaśī dine viṣṇura naivedya māgi' khāila āpane

Synonyms

ei dui-ghare—in these two houses; prabhu—the Lord; ekādaśī dine—on the Ekādaśī day; viṣṇura—of Lord Viṣṇu; naivedya—foodstuffs offered to Lord Viṣṇu; māgi'—begging; khāila—ate; āpane—personally..

Translation

In their two houses Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu begged foodstuffs on the Ekādaśī day and ate them personally.

Purport

The injunction to fast on Ekādaśī is especially meant for devotees; on Ekādaśī there are no restrictions regarding foodstuffs that may be offered to the Lord. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu took the foodstuffs of Lord Viṣṇu in His ecstasy as viṣṇu-tattva.
