SRI KRISHNA'S HUNGER

What shall I do? The sage and his disciples will soon be here and as though this were not enough, you have also come at this juncture saying that you are hungry."

Sri Krishna said: "I am terribly hungry and want food, not excuses. Fetch the vessel and let me see for myself." Draupadi brought it to him. A tiny bit of cooked vegetable and a grain of rice were sticking to the rim of the vessel.

Sri Krishna ate them with satisfaction, accepting them as Sri Hari, the Soul of the Universe.Draupadi was filled with shame at her slovenliness in not having, cleaned the vessel free of all remnants. A bit had been left which had been partaken byVasudeva!

Sri Krishna seemed replete with satisfac- tion after eating his solitary grain and calling Bhima, told him to go to the river and intimate to the revered sage that food was ready and waiting for them.
