Antya 3-4

EN CC Antya 3 1975: “After performing kīrtana with His personal associates, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu took prasāda with all of them and then asked them to return to their dwellings and take rest.” The details of the Lord’s picnic (as given in Madhya-līlā, Chapter 12, verses 152-202) are as follows: “In the garden, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu sat down with the other devotees. Vāṇīnātha Rāya then came in and brought all kinds of mahā-prasāda. Both Kāśī Miśra and Tulasī, the superintendent of the Guṇḍicā temple, brought as much prasāda as five hundred men could eat. Seeing the large quantity of prasāda, which consisted of rice, cakes, sweet rice and a variety of vegetables, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was very satisfied. Since Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is omniscient, He knew that type of preparation each person liked. He therefore had Svarūpa Dāmodara deliver these preparations to their full satisfaction. There is no one within these three worlds – save for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu – who is always so willing to increase the glories of the devotees and give them satisfaction. Śrī Advaita Ācārya and Nityānanda Prabhu sat side by side, and when prasāda was being distributed, They both engaged in a type of mock fighting.”
