At this time, RaghunÄtha dÄsa approached ÅšrÄ« NityÄnanda Prabhu and, according to His order, prepared a feast and distributed prasÄdam composed of chipped rice and curd.
There is a special preparation in Bengal wherein chipped rice is mixed with curd and sometimes with sandeÅ›a and mango. It is a very palatable food offered to the Deity and then distributed to the public. RaghunÄtha dÄsa GosvÄmÄ«, who was a householder at this time, met NityÄnanda Prabhu. According to His advice, he executed this festival of dadhi-ciá¸Ä-prasÄda.
