Waiting Respectfully for the Lord
“All the devotees who sat down would not eat the prasādam as long as the Lord had not eaten. On that day, however, Kāśī Miśra had extended an invitation to the Lord.”
What the purport teaches
- All the devotees were seated, but they would not yet eat the prasādam.
- They waited because the Lord had not eaten.
- Kāśī Miśra had invited the Lord that day, so His meal also needed attention.
