Chapter 15: The Lord Accepts Prasāda at the House of Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya

Verse 221 of 299
Cc Madhya 15.221

অমৃতগুটিকা, পিঠাপানা আনাইল জগন্নাথপ্রসাদ সব পৃথক্ধরিল

अमृतगुटिका, पिठापाना आनाइल जगन्नाथप्रसाद सब पृथक्धरिल

amṛta-guṭikā, piṭhā-pānā ānāila jagannātha-prasāda saba pṛthak dharila

Synonyms

amṛta-guṭikāthe sweet named amṛta-guṭikā; piṭhā-pānācakes and sweet rice; ānāilabrought; jagannātha-prasādaremnants of the food of Lord Jagannātha; sabaall; pṛthak dharilakept separately..

Translation

Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya also included several types of food that had been offered to Lord Jagannātha. This included sweetballs known as amṛta-guṭikā, sweet rice and cakes. All these were kept separately.

Purport

Although the remnants of food left by Jagannātha were brought into Bhaṭṭācārya's house, they were kept separate from the preparations he had made at his home. It sometimes happens that prasāda is mixed with a larger quantity of food and then distributed, but in this case we find that Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya kept the jagannātha-prasāda separate. He kept it aside particularly for the satisfaction of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
