"Come, come, Mahāprabhu, I humbly pray: now please come to the home of this poor servant."

Verse 3

The Lord set out with His devotees, and all the women joyfully raised the hulu sound.

Verse 4

Advaita's wife and the women of Śāntipura cried "hulu, hulu" as they gazed at Gorā's face.

Verse 5

They gave Him a jewelled throne to sit on and washed His feet with cool water.

Verse 6

"O Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Prabhu, please hear me: Prabhu, kindly come to the room where the meal is offered."

Verse 7

Advaita Prabhu sat on His left and Nitāi on His right, and Caitanya Gosāñi sat on the seat in the middle.

Verse 8

The sixty-four mahāntas, the twelve gopālas, the six cakravartīs and the eight kavirājas were there. Row upon row they set out fine rice with ghee and vegetable dishes, and placed tulasī mañjarīs on top of the offering.

Verse 9

They served śāk (greens), śuktā (a mildly bitter vegetable stew), mocā (banana flower) and fried things too, and the king of Nadīyā ate in bliss.

Verse 10

Yogurt, milk, ghee, chānā and many other offerings: the darling of Śacī ate them in bliss.
