随后，那位持戒严峻的牟尼又匆匆来到我前，说道：“噢，克里希纳！我此刻就要吃帕耶娑（甜乳饭）。”

The verse sets up an ethical test: a disciplined sage expresses an urgent desire for a specific food. It implicitly raises questions of dharma—how one should respond to requests (hospitality, compassion) while also recognizing the role of desire and urgency even in ascetic life.
Speaking as Vāyudeva, the narrator reports that a strict-vowed sage returns and quickly tells him, addressing Kṛṣṇa, that he wants to eat pāyasa immediately—an event that typically functions as the trigger for the next action or moral evaluation in the episode.
