“O king! O king! The servant of Krsna, Padmanabha. Your life is successful. I have never seen a devotee like you.” He began to praise so much. “From everywhere, I am seeing from all over the country, devotees are coming and without any cost they are all taking maha-prasada everywhere here.”
Chatra means a place where free of cost maha-prasada is distributed. You have no king like that and that is why you will have to pay something for maha-prasadam here, but if a king like that was here, then management would arrange that all have nothing to pay and the cost of the journey, maha-prasadam, lodging and hosting—everything would be free. That king was like that.
Everyone had delicious maha-prasada, not only kichari. [audience laughs] What kind of prasadam? Laddu, puri, kachori, halava, mahan-bhoga, kichari, and all kinds of sweets like rabari and peda, freely distributed to all the devotees. All were so happy. Narada was praying, “You are most dear to Krsna. You are such a high-class devotee. I have never seen this in my life.”
