Previously Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu had neither mixed nor talked with the Māyāvādī sannyāsīs. Now He took lunch with them.
He had induced them to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa and had excused their offenses. The purport explains that they were thus purified.
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu accepted food among them even though He knew it had not been offered to the Deity. His acceptance rested on their chanting and His forgiveness of their offenses.
