sei-dina - that day; eka-vipra - one brāhmaṇa; kaila nimantraṇa - invited; eka-cauṭhi bhāta - one-fourth of a pot of rice; pāṅca-gaṇḍāra vyañjana - vegetables worth only five gaṇḍās; ei-mātra - only this; govinda - the servant of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu; kaila aṅgīkāra - accepted; māthāya - his head; ghā māre - struck; vipra - the brāhmaṇa; kare hāhā-kāra - began to say, 'alas, alas.'

That day, a brāhmaṇa extended an invitation to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. When Govinda accepted only five gaṇḍās’ worth of vegetables and a fourth of a pot of rice, the brāhmaṇa, in great despair, struck his head with his hand and cried, “Alas! Alas!”
