TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "These ingredients, such as sugar, camphor, black pepper, cardamom, cloves, butter, spices and licorice, are all material. Everyone has tasted these material substances before.
PURPORT
The word prakrta refers to things tasted for the sense gratification of the conditioned soul. Such things are limited by the material laws. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to make the point that material things have already been experienced by materially absorbed persons who are interested only in sense gratification.
