bhiksa karaiya taṅre kaila nivedana
prabhu-the Lord; taṅre-to him; namaskari'-offering obeisances; kaila-did; nimantrana-invitation; bhiksa-alms; karaiya-giving; taṅre-to him; kaila-submitted; nivedana-His prayer.
The Lord offered him respectful obeisances and invited him to His house. After feeding him sumptuously, He submitted to him His petition.
According to the system of Vedic society, whenever an unknown sannyasi comes to a village or town, someone must invite him to take prasada in his home. Sannyasis generally take prasada in the house of a brahmana because the brahmana worships the Lord Narayana sila, or salagrama-sila, and therefore there is prasada that the sannyasi may take. Kesava Bharati accepted the invitation of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Thus the Lord had a good opportunity to explain His desire to take sannyasa from him.
