In the village of Panihati, Raghunatha Dasa obtained an interview with Nityananda Prabhu, who was accompanied by many kirtan performers, servants, and others. Sitting on a rock under a tree on the bank of the Ganges, Lord Nityananda seemed as effulgent as hundreds and thousands of rising suns. Many devotees sat on the ground around Him. Seeing the influence of Nityananda Prabhu, Raghunatha Dasa was astonished. Raghunatha dasa offered his obeisances by falling prostrate at a distant place, and the servant of Nityananda Prabhu pointed out, “There is Raghunatha dasa, offering you obeisances.”

Hearing this, Lord Nityananda Prabhu said, “You are a thief. Now you have come to see me. Come here, come here. Today I shall punish you,” the Lord called him, but Raghunatha dasa did not go near the Lord. Then the Lord forcibly caught him and placed His lotus feet upon Raghunatha Dasa’s head. “Make a festival and feed all my associates yogurt and chipped rice.” Hearing this, Raghunatha Dasa was incredibly pleased.

Raghunatha Dasa brought chipped rice, yogurt, and milk. sweetmeats, sugar, bananas, and other edibles and placed them all around. As soon as they heard that a festival would be held, all kinds of Brahmanas and other gentlemen began to arrive. Thus, there were innumerable people. Seeing the crowd increasing, Raghunatha Dasa arranged to get more food from other villages. He also brought two to four hundred large, round pots. He also obtained five or seven huge earthen pots, and in these pots, a brahmana began soaking chipped rice for the satisfaction of Lord Nityananda.
