Eka Dina Nīlācale Prasāda Sebana Kāle
O my brothers, one day, in Jagannātha Purī, at the time of honoring prasādam, Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu said to the devotees, "By honoring this khicari with pure hearts, you
have today become fortunate and glorious.
"Lord Jagannātha has given you this kichari and these wonderful sweets, nectar drinks, and other wonderful kinds of prasādam. Eat up to your necks and chant "Hari! Hari!" Then sin and illusion will not say to you a single word.
"Brahmā and Śiva worship Lord Jagannātha's prasādam. When a person eats it, ecstatic spiritual love rises within him. Now all of you have attained this rare treasure. Glory, glory, glory to Lord Jagannātha!"
