291|According to this verse, if one is born in a brahmana
>|family but does not behave according to brahminical
>|standards, he should not be offered the sraddha-patra,
>|which is prasada offered to the forefathers. Advaita Acarya
>|offered the sraddha-patra to Haridasa Thakura, not to a
>|brahmana who had been born in a brahmana family. Although
>|Haridasa Thakura was born in the family of meateaters,
>|because he was an advanced devotee he was shown more
>|respect than a first-class brahmana.
