Vāsudeva Datta, Gadādhara dāsa, Murāri Gupta, the inhabitants of Kulīna-grāma and Khaṇḍa and many other devotees who were not brāhmaṇas by caste would purchase food offered to Lord Jagannātha and then extend invitations to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.** ## Purport The inhabitants of Kulīna-grāma, such as Satyarāja Khān and Rāmānanda Vasu, were not *brāhmaṇas* by caste, nor were the inhabitants of Khaṇḍa, such as Mukunda dāsa, Narahari dāsa and Raghunandana. Therefore they would purchase *prasāda* from the market where the remnants of Lord Jagannātha's food was sold and then extend invitations to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, whereas Ācāryaratna, Ācāryanidhi and others who were *brāhmaṇas* by caste would cook at home when they invited the Lord. Caitanya Mahāprabhu observed the etiquette then current in society by accepting only *prasāda* cooked by members of the *brāhmaṇa* caste, but on principle He accepted invitations from His devotees, regardless of whether they were *brāhmaṇas* by caste.
