After feeding him sumptuously, He submitted to him His petition.** ## Purport According to the system of Vedic society, whenever an unknown *sannyāsī* comes to a village or town, someone must invite him to take *prasāda* in his home. *Sannyāsīs* generally take *prasāda* in the house of a *brāhmaṇa* because the *brāhmaṇa* worships the Lord Nārāyaṇa *śilā,* or *śālagrāma-śilā,* and therefore there is *prasāda* that the *sannyāsī* may take. Keśava Bhāratī accepted the invitation of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Thus the Lord had a good opportunity to explain His desire to take *sannyāsa* from him.
