ghare bhÄta kari' karena vividha vyañjana
ekale gosÄñi laÃ±Ä karÄna bhojana
ghare - at home; bhÄta kari' - preparing rice; karena - prepares; vividha vyañjana - varieties of vegetables; ekale - alone; gosÄñi laÃ±Ä - taking ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu; karÄna bhojana - makes to eat.
BhagavÄn Ä€cÄrya prepared varieties of rice and vegetables at home and brought the Lord there alone to eat.
Generally those who invited ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu for dinner used to offer Him the remnants of food that had first been offered to Lord JagannÄtha. BhagavÄn Ä€cÄrya, however, instead of giving Him the remnants of JagannÄtha’s food, prepared dinner at his home. In Orissa, food offered to Lord JagannÄtha is called prasÄdÄ«, and that which is not offered to Lord JagannÄtha is known as ÄmÄnÄ« or ghara-bhÄta, rice prepared at home.
