bhāi-re! eka-dina nīlācale, prasād-sevana-kāle, mahāprabhu śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya bolilen bhakta-gaṇe, khecarānna śuddha-mane, sevā kori’ hao āj dhanya
bhai-re! eka-dina nilacale, prasad-sevana-kale, mahaprabhu sri-krsna-caitanya bolilen bhakta-gane, khecaranna suddha-mane, seva kori’ hao aj dhanya
भाइरे! एकदिन नीलाचले, प्रसाद्सेवनकाले, महाप्रभु श्रीकृष्णचैतन्य बोलिलेन भक्तगणे, खेचरान्न शुद्धमने, सेवा कोरिऽ हओ आज धन्य
O brothers! One day in Jagannatha Puri, at the time of honoring the Lord's prasad, Mahaprabhu Sri Krsna Caitanya said to all the devotees, "May you become blessed on this day by honoring the khicari of the Lord in a pure state of mind.
- Verse 2
khecarānna piṭhā-pānā, apūrva prasāda nānā, jagannātha dilo tomā sabe ākanṭha bhojana kori’, bolo mukhe `hari hari’, avidyā-durita nāhi robe
khecaranna pitha-pana, apurva prasada nana, jagannatha dilo toma sabe akantha bhojana kori’, bolo mukhe `hari hari’, avidya-durita nahi robe
खेचरान्न पिठापाना, अपूर्व प्रसाद नाना, जगन्नाथ दिलो तोमा सबे आकन्ठ भोजन कोरिऽ, बोलो मुखे `हरि हरिऽ, अविद्यादुरित नाहि रोबे
"Lord Jagannatha has given you varieties of extraordinary and wonderful prasad, such as khicuri and pitha-pana (a type of cake and condensed-milk preparation). Therefore, take all of this prasad until you are filled up to the neck, and with your voices chant `Hari! Hari!' In such a transcendental atmosphere, ignorance and sin cannot remain.
- Verse 3
jagannātha-prasādānna, viriñci-śambhura mānya, khāile prema hoibe udoy emona durlabha dhana, pāiyācho sarva-jana, jaya jaya jagannātha jay
jagannatha-prasadanna, virinci-sambhura manya, khaile prema hoibe udoy emona durlabha dhana, paiyacho sarva-jana, jaya jaya jagannatha jay
जगन्नाथप्रसादान्न, विरिञ्चिशम्भुर मान्य, खाइले प्रेम होइबे उदोय एमोन दुर्लभ धन, पाइयाछो सर्वजन, जय जय जगन्नाथ जय
"These prasad food-grains of Lord Jagannatha are worshipable even by Lord Brahma and Lord Siva. Upon the eating of it, love of God arises within the heart. All of you have obtained such a rare treasure. All glories! All glories! All glories to Lord Jagannatha!"
