bhāi-re!


śrī-caitanya nityānanda, śrīvāsādi bhakta-vṛnda,


gaurīdāsa panḍiter ghare


luci, cini, khīr, sār, miṭhāi, pāyass āra,


piṭhā-pāna āsvādan kore

1) O brothers! Lord Caitanya, Lord Nityānanda, and Their devotees headed by Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura relish different varieties of prasād at the home of Gaurīdāsa Panḍita. They take purīs made with white flour and sugar, khīra, solid cream, sweets, sweet-rice, and a kind of cake and condensed-milk preparation.

mahāprabhu bhakta-gaṇe, parama-ānanda-mane,

ājñā dilo korite bhojan

kṛṣṇaera prasād-anna, bhojane hoiyā dhanya,

‘kṛṣṇa’ boli’ ḍāke sarva-jan

2) Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, in great ecstasy, gave the order to all of His devotees to eat. Becoming very fortunate by taking the prasād of Lord Kṛṣṇa, everyone chants aloud, “Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!”
