eita āsane vasi' karaha bhojana
prabhu kahe, — pūjya ei kṛṣṇera āsana
SYNONYMS
eita āsane — on this sitting place; vasi' — sitting; karaha bhojana — take Your lunch; prabhu kahe — Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said; pūjya — worshipable; ei — this; kṛṣṇera āsana — sitting place of Kṛṣṇa.
TRANSLATION
"Now please sit in this place and take Your lunch."
Caitanya Mahāprabhu replied, "This place is worshipable because it was used by Kṛṣṇa."
PURPORT
According to etiquette, things used by Kṛṣṇa should not be used by anyone else. Similarly, things used by the spiritual master should also not be used by anyone else. That is etiquette. Whatever is used by Kṛṣṇa or the spiritual master is worshipable. In particular, their sitting or eating places should not be used by anyone else. A devotee must be very careful to observe this.
