# Cc. Madhya 14.36 ## Text > ei-mata jagannātha karena bhojana > ei sukhe mahāprabhura juḍāya nayana ## Synonyms *ei*-*mata*—in this way; *jagannātha*—Lord Jagannātha; *karena* *bhojana*—accepts His food; *ei* *sukhe*—in this happiness; *mahāprabhura*—of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu; *juḍāya*—become fully satisfied; *nayana*—the eyes. ## Translation **Indeed, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was fully satisfied just to see how Lord Jagannātha accepted all the food.** ## Purport Following in the footsteps of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, a Vaiṣṇava should be fully satisfied simply to see a variety of food offered to the Deity of Jagannātha or Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. A Vaiṣṇava should not hunger for a variety of food for his own sake; rather, his satisfaction is in seeing various foods being offered to the Deity. In his *Gurv-aṣṭaka,* Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura writes: > catur-vidha-śrī-bhagavat-prasāda- > svādv-anna-tṛptān hari-bhakta-saṅghān > kṛtvaiva tṛptiṁ bhajataḥ sadaiva > vande guroḥ śrī-caraṇāravindam "The spiritual master is always offering Kṛṣṇa four kinds of delicious food [analyzed as that which is licked, chewed, drunk and sucked]. When the spiritual master sees that the devotees are satisfied by eating *bhagavat-prasāda,* he is satisfied. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master." The spiritual master's duty is to engage his disciples in preparing varieties of nice food to offer the Deity. After being offered, this food is distributed as *prasāda* to the devotees. These activities satisfy the spiritual master, although he himself does not eat or require such a variety of *prasāda.* By seeing to the offering and distribution of *prasāda,* he himself is encouraged in devotional service.
