अथ नैवेद्यार्पणप्रसङ्गे यः क्रमदीपिकादर्शितोऽनिरुद्धनामात्मको मन्त्रस्तस्य स्थाने श्रीकृष्णैकान्तिकभक्तास्तु तन्मूलमन्त्रमेवेच्छन्ति । तथा यच्च तन्मुखज्योतिरनुगतत्वेन ध्यातुं विधीयते, तत् तु भोजनसमये तन्मुखप्रसादमेव मन्यन्ते । भोजनं तु यथा लोकसिद्धमेव नरलीलात्वात् श्रीकृष्णस्य ।

“Now, on the subject of offering food (naivedya) [to Bhagavān], in place of the mantra known as Aniruddha shown in Krama-dīpikā (4.62), bhaktas who are one-pointed upon Śrī Kṛṣṇa prefer rather [to use] the mūla-mantra related to him [i.e., the Gopāla-mantra]. Similarly, at the time of [Bhagavān’s] eating, when it is enjoined [in Krama-dīpikā] to meditate on [the food] being engulfed by fire from his [i.e., Bhagavān’s] face, they [i.e., bhakta one-pointed upon Śrī Kṛṣṇa] prefer [to meditate on] only the brightness [i.e., the delight] of his face. Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s eating is, rather, as is performed in the world because of [its] being human [-like] līlā.”
