prabhura vacane - in the words of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; viprera - of the brāhmaṇa; ha-ila - was; viśvāsa - faith; bhojana karila - he took his lunch; haila - there was; jīvanera - for living; āśa - hope.

Although the brāhmaṇa was fasting, he had faith in the words of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and accepted food. In this way his life was saved.
