SYNONYMS

aji-today also; upavasa-fasting; haila-there was; acarya-nimantrane-by the invitation of Advaita Acarya; ardha-peta-half My belly; na-not; bharibe-will fill; ei-this; graseka anne-one morsel of food.

TRANSLATION

Although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was thinking that the quantity of food was enormous, Nityananda 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 Acarya, today also is a fast. So small a quantity of foodstuffs will not even fill half of My belly."
