‘মোর নামে শিখি-মাহিতির ভগিনী-স্থানে গিয়া ।
শুক্লচাউল এক মান আনহ মাগিয়া ।।” ১০৩ ॥ ১০৩ ॥
‘mora nāme śikhi-māhitira bhaginī-sthāne giyā
śukla-cāula eka māna ānaha māgiyā’
“Please go to the sister of Śikhi Māhiti. In my name, ask her for a māna of white rice and bring it here.”
Read Śrīla Prabhupāda's purport on Vedabase.ioThree study points drawn from the translation and purport.
Bhagavān Ācārya asked Choṭa Haridāsa to request a māna of white rice from Śikhi Māhiti’s sister in his name. A māna is a standard measure for rice and other food grains in Orissa.
White rice, called śukla-cāula or ātapa-cāula, is not boiled before being husked. Siddha-cāula, described here as brown rice, is boiled before being husked.
Generally, first-class fine white rice is required for offerings to the Deity. Bhagavān Ācārya therefore requested this rice for the meal.

Later, when Junior Haridāsa, following the order of Bhagavān Ācārya, went to collect alms from Mādhavīdevī, he committed an offense by talking intimately with a woman although he was in the renounced order.
