Å›rÄ«vÄsa-Ädi - the devotees, headed by ÅšrÄ«vÄsa ṬhÄkura; yata - all; prabhura - of the Lord; vipra - especially the brÄhmaṇas; bhakta-gaṇa - devotees; prabhuke - unto the Lord; bhiká¹£Ä - lunch; dite - to give; haila - there was; sabÄkÄra - of all of them; mana - the mind.
Since Advaita Ä€cÄrya was giving alms and food to Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu, the other devotees, headed by ÅšrÄ«vÄsa ṬhÄkura, also desired to give Him alms and invite Him for lunch.
It is the duty of all gá¹›hasthas to invite a sannyÄsÄ« to their homes if he happens to be in the neighborhood or village. This very system is still current in India. If a sannyÄsÄ« is in the neighborhood of a village, he is invited by all householders, one after another. As long as a sannyÄsÄ« remains in the village, he enlightens the inhabitants in spiritual understanding. In other words, a sannyÄsÄ« has no housing or food problems even when he travels extensively. Even though Advaita Ä€cÄrya was supplying Caitanya MahÄprabhu with prasÄdam, the other devotees from NavadvÄ«pa and ÅšÄntipura also desired to offer Him prasÄdam.
