আজি উপবাস হৈল আচার্যনিমন্ত্রণে অর্ধপেট না ভরিবে এই গ্রাসেক অন্নে

आजि उपवास हैल आचार्यनिमन्त्रणे अर्धपेट ना भरिबे एइ ग्रासेक अन्ने

āji upavāsa haila ācārya-nimantraṇe ardha-peṭa nā bharibe ei grāseka anne

Translation

Although Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was thinking that the quantity of food was enormous, Nityānanda 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 I am invited to eat by Advaita Ācārya, today also is a fast. So small a quantity of foodstuffs will not even fill half of My belly."
