Serve through a suitable arrangement
“When a brāhmaṇa at whose home an invitation could not be accepted invited the Lord, he would pay two paṇas of conchshells to purchase the prasādam.”
What the purport teaches
- Some brāhmaṇas invited the Lord even though an invitation at their home could not be accepted.
- In such a case, the brāhmaṇa would pay two paṇas of conchshells to purchase the prasādam.
- This arrangement allowed him to provide prasādam without hosting the Lord at home.
