— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Food that is wholesome, pure and obtained without difficulty is in sattva, food that gives immediate pleasure to the senses is in rajas, and food that is unclean and causes distress is in tamas. Food offered to me is beyond the guṇas. Anāyastam means “attained without effort.” The word ca indicates that food offered to me is beyond the guṇas.
