SYNONYMS
aji—today also; upavasa—fasting; haila—there was; acarya-nimantrane—by the invitation of Advaita Acarya; ardha-peta—half My belly; na—not; bharibe—will fill; ei—this; graseka anne—one morsel of food.
Although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was thinking that the quantity of food was enormous, Nityananda 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 Acarya, today also is a fast.
So small a quantity of food will not even fill half My belly.”
