rāmacandra-purī-bhaye - due to fear of Rāmacandra Purī; bhikṣā - the proportion of eating; ghāṭāilā - decreased; vaiṣṇavera - of all the Vaiṣṇavas; duḥkha - unhappiness; dekhi' - understanding; ardheka - half of the portion; rākhilā - kept.

Rāmacandra Purī criticized Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s eating; therefore the Lord reduced His eating to a minimum. However, when all the Vaiṣṇavas became very sorry, the Lord increased His portion to half as much as usual.
