Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Sri Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 15.221

amrita-gutika, pitha-pana anaila

jagannatha-prasada saba prithak dharila

SYNONYMS

amrita-gutika -- the sweet named amrita-gutika; pitha-pana -- cakes and sweet rice; anaila -- brought; jagannatha-prasada -- remnants of the food of Lord Jagannatha; saba -- all; prithak dharila -- kept separately.

TRANSLATION

Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya also included several types of food that had been offered to Lord Jagannatha. These included sweetballs known as amrita-gutika, sweet rice and cakes. All these were kept separate.

PURPORT

Although the remnants of food left by Jagannatha were brought into the Bhattacarya's house, they were kept separate from the preparations he had made at his home. It sometimes happens that prasadam is mixed with a larger quantity of food and then distributed, but in this case we find that Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya kept the jagannatha-prasadam separate. He kept it aside particularly for the satisfaction of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
