Translation and purport composed by disciples of Śrīla Prabhupāda
TRANSLATION
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: During the first month of the winter season, the young unmarried girls of Gokula observed the vow of worshiping goddess Kātyāyanī. For the entire month they ate only unspiced khichrī.
PURPORT
The word hemante refers to the month of Mārgaśīrṣa—from approximately the middle of November to the middle of December, according to the Western calendar. In Chapter Twenty-two, of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrīla Prabhupāda comments that the gopīs "first ate haviṣyānna, a kind of food prepared by boiling together mung dhāl and rice without any spices or turmeric. According to Vedic injunction, this kind of food is recommended to purify the body before one enacts a ritualistic ceremony."
