amrta-gutika, pitha-pana anaila

jagannatha-prasada saba prthak dharila

SYNONYMS

amrta-gutika—the sweet named amrta-gutika; pitha-pana—cakes and sweet rice; anaila—brought; jagannatha-prasada—remnants of the food of Lord Jagannatha; saba—all; prthak dharila—kept separately.

Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya also included several types of food that had been offered to Lord Jagannatha.

This included sweetballs known as amrta-gutika, sweet rice and cakes.

All these were kept separately.

PURPORT

Although the remnants of food left by Jagannatha were brought into Bhattacarya’s house, they were kept separate from the preparations he had made at his home.

It sometimes happens that prasada is mixed with a larger quantity of food and then distributed, but in this case we find that Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya kept the jagannatha-prasada separate.

He kept it aside particularly for the satisfaction of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
