অনেক নাচাইলা মোরে প্রসাদ করিয়া ।
বিপ্রের শ্রাদ্ধপাত্র খাইনু 'ম্লেচ্ছ' হঞা ॥ ৩০ ॥
aneka nacaila more prasada kariya
viprera sraddha-patra khainu 'mleccha' hana
aneka-in many ways; nacaila-You have made dance; more-me; prasada kariya-by Your mercy; viprera-of the brahmanas; sraddha-patra-the dish of the sraddha ceremony; khainu-I have eaten; mleccha hana-although born in a family of meateaters.
"My dear Lord, by Your mercy You have made me dance in many ways. For example, I was offered the sraddha-patra that should have been offered to first-class brahmanas. I ate from it even though I was born in a family of meateaters.
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, in his Anubhasya, quotes from the Visnu-smrti in reference to sraddha-patra.
brahmanapasada hy ete
kathitah paṅkti-dusakah
etan vivarjayed yatnat
sraddha-karmani panditah
According to this verse, if one is born in a brahmana family but does not behave according to brahminical standards, he should not be offered the sraddha-patra, which is prasada offered to the forefathers. Advaita Acarya offered the sraddha-patra to Haridasa Thakura, not to a brahmana who had been born in a brahmana family. Although Haridasa Thakura was born in the family of meateaters, because he was an advanced devotee he was shown more respect than a first-class brahmana.
