TEXT 80

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

SYNONYMS

āji—today also; upavāsa—fasting; haila—there was; ācārya-nimantraṇe—by the invitation of Advaita Ācārya; ardha-peṭa—half My belly; nā—not; bharibe—will fill; ei—this; grāseka anne—one morsel of food.

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 food will not fill even half My belly.”
