Paragraph 16

In plain words

The cooking for Vishnu's shrine is vegetarian. Kali's food offering has a kitchen of its own. In front of it the maidservants sit cutting fish with large blades. On the new-moon day a goat is sacrificed. The offering is over by midday. Meanwhile, at the guest house, the poor, the Vaishnavas, the sadhus and other guests sit down in rows, each with a leaf plate of sal. A separate place is made for the brahmins, and the brahmins on the staff have their own seats. The treasurer's share of prasad is carried to his room. When the gentlemen of Janbazar come, they stay in the kuthi, and it is there that prasad is sent to them.
