nṛsiṁhera - of Lord Nṛsiṁha; haila - there was; jāni - I understand; āji - today; upavāsa - fasting; ṭhākura upavāsī rahe - the master remains fasting; jiye kaiche dāsa - how can the servant sustain his life.

“I think that Nṛsiṁhadeva could not eat anything today, and therefore He is fasting. If the master fasts, how can the servant live?”
