For example, I was offered the śrāddha-pātra that should have been offered to first-class brāhmaṇas. I ate from it even though I was born in a family of meateaters.** ## Purport Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura, in his *Anubhāṣya,* quotes from the *Viṣṇu-smṛti* in reference to *śrāddha-pātra.* > brāhmaṇāpasadā hy ete > kathitāḥ paṅkti-dūṣakāḥ > etān vivarjayed yatnāt > śrāddha-karmaṇi paṇḍitaḥ According to this verse, if one is born in a *brāhmaṇa* family but does not behave according to brahminical standards, he should not be offered the *śrāddha-pātra,* which is *prasāda* offered to the forefathers. Advaita Ācārya offered the *śrāddha-pātra* to Haridāsa Ṭhākura, not to a *brāhmaṇa* who had been born in a *brāhmaṇa* family. Although Haridāsa Ṭhākura was born in the family of meateaters, because he was an advanced devotee he was shown more respect than a first-class *brāhmaṇa.*
