(Srila Prabhupada described): They were all chanting together Hare Krsna,

and Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked the devotees that "Hello, My dear friends.

What do you want to eat?" So some of them said... That was out of season,

and still some of them asked that "We shall be very glad if You give us some

mangoes." (laughs) So Lord Caitanya said that "All right. You just bring one

seed of mango." So in Bengal there is, seed of mango is available always

because the people in the village, they eat mango and throw it in the

ground, they say they come out as tree, creeper. So it is not very

difficult. So he brought some creeper like that, and he sowed it, and at

once it became a tree, and there was sufficient quantity of mango fruits. So

all the devotees were distributed. And that mango tree remained there and

they were taking mango every day.

Several details of this lila are not described in Sri Caitanya Caritamrta.

Are they described in other biographies?
