CC Antya 11.19

Antya-līlā, Chapter 11, Text 19

সংখ্যা-কীর্তন পূরে নাহি, কেমতে খাইব ? মহাপ্রসাদ আনিয়াছ, কেমতে উপেক্ষিব ?” ১৯ ।। ॥ ১৯ ॥

saṅkhyā-kīrtana pūre nāhi, ke-mate khāiba?
mahā-prasāda āniyācha, ke-mate upekṣiba?

Word by word

saṅkhyā-kīrtana — the fixed amount of chanting; pūre nāhi — is not complete; ke-mate khāiba — how shall I eat; mahā-prasāda āniyācha — you have brought the mahā-prasādam; ke-mate upekṣiba — how shall I neglect.

Translation

“I have not finished chanting my regular number of rounds. How, then, can I eat? But you have brought mahā-prasādam, and how can I neglect it?”
