# Cc. Madhya 3.168 > শ্রীবাসাদি যত প্রভুর বিপ্র ভক্তগণ । > প্রভুকে ভিক্ষা দিতে হৈল সবাকার মন ॥১৬৮॥ ## Text > śrīvāsādi yata prabhura vipra bhakta-gaṇa > prabhuke bhikṣā dite haila sabākāra mana ## Synonyms *śrīvāsa-ādi*—the devotees, headed by Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura; *yata*—all; *prabhura*—of the Lord; *vipra*—especially the *brāhmaṇas*; *bhakta-gaṇa*—devotees; *prabhuke*—unto the Lord; *bhikṣā*—lunch; *dite*—to give; *haila*—there was; *sabākāra*—of all of them; *mana*—the mind. ## Translation **Since Advaita Ācārya was giving alms and food to Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, the other devotees, headed by Śrīvāsa Ṭhākura, also desired to give Him alms and invite Him for lunch.** ## Purport It is the duty of all *gṛhasthas* to invite a *sannyāsī* to their homes if he happens to be in the neighborhood or village. This very system is still current in India. If a *sannyāsī* is in the neighborhood of a village, he is inv ted by all householders, one after another. As long as a *sannyāsī* remains in the village, he enlightens the inhabitants in spiritual understanding. In other words, a *sannyāsī* has no housing or food problems even when he travels extensively. Even though Advaita Ācārya was supplying Caitanya Mahāprabhu with *prasāda,* the other devotees from Navadvīpa and Śāntipura also desired to offer Him *prasāda.*
