Source: Prabhupada Books: Sri Caitanya CaritamrtaVaiṣṇavocchiṣṭa (वैष्णवोच्छिष्ट) refers to “(eating) the remnants of the food of Vaiṣṇavas”, according to the Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta 3.20 (“The Śikṣāṣṭaka Prayers”).—Accordingly, as Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu said said: “[...] Now let me repeat all the pastimes of the Antya-līlā, for if I do so I shall taste the pastimes again. [...] The Sixteenth Chapter tells how Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu showed His mercy to Kālidāsa and thus demonstrated the result of eating the remnants of the food of Vaiṣṇavas (vaiṣṇavocchiṣṭa). It also describes how Śivānanda's son composed a verse and how the doorkeeper of the Siṃha-dvāra showed Kṛṣṇa to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Also in that chapter, the glories of mahā-prasāda are explained, and a verse is tasted describing the effect of nectar from the lips of Kṛṣṇa. [...]”.
