He gives so much to the helpless people, he may also kindly give me something
But I cannot say, only the Lord knows, whether he will do such thing with me.”2406.
When the Brahmin stepped inside Sri Krishna's house,
After finishing his journey, when the Brahmin reached the residence of Krishna, Krishna recognised him that he was the Brahmin Sudama
He advanced forward to receive him, affectionately, leaving his seat
He touched his feet and then hugged him.2407.
He took him to his palace and welcomed and honoured him
He caused water to be brought, with which he washed the feet of the Brahmin, he also drank the washings of the feet
On the other side, he transformed his hut into a palace
Doing all this, he bade farewell to the Brahmin and apparently, he did not give him anything.2408.
DOHRA
When (Sandipan) used to study in the Brahmin's house, then I had (his) jundli with me.
When we studied at the house of our teacher, he loved me, but now the Lord has become covetous, therefore he did not give me anything.2409.
Speech of the poet:
SWAYYA
One who serves Lord Krishna, then he gets a lot of wealth.
He, who serves Krishna, he obtains extreme wealth, but the people do not understand this mystery and only comprehend according to their understanding
Krishna is the sustainer of the saints, remover of their sufferings and the destroyer of the demon houses
There is none other except Krishna, who is the sustainer and supporter of the poor.2410.
He, who did not care for anyone, that Shishupal was killed by him in an instant
He even killed the demon Bakatra, who did never have the fear of the abode of Yama
He even conquered Bhumasura, who fought like Indra and now has given the palace of gold to Sudama
Then tell us, who else except him can do all this?2411.
He, who on killing Madhu and Kaitabh, full of kindness, donated the earth to Indra
He before whom all the armies that went, he destroyed them
Who gave the kingdom to Vibhishana and plundered Lanka by killing Ravana.
He, who gave kingdom to Vibhishana and after killing Ravana, caused Lanka to be looted and if He has given today the palace of gold to the Brahmin, then in what way it can be a significant thing for Him?2412.
BISHANPADA DHANASARI
Who has made (his) nails like deer.
He, whose eyes are like the eyes of the deer, the line of antimony on those charming eyes looks splendid
That lime is like that trap, in which all the men and women always remain entangled
Krishna, according to his inclination, remains pleased with all.2413.
Sri Krishna's nainas are (like) lotuses.
The eyes of Krishna are like lotus, which are never closed after illuminating the face
To see them (devotees) the pupil of the people's eyes is always fixed. (Its) meaning has arisen (in the poet's mind thus).
Seeing them the eyes of the mother, are also absorbed in them like the mumble been hovering over the lotus having pollen.2414.
End of the description of giving to Sudama the house of gold after removing his poverty in Krishnavatara (based on Dasham Skandh Purana) in Bachittar Natak.
Now begins the description of coming to Kurukshetra on the day of Sun-Eclipse
SWAYYA
When the eclipse day arrived, the astrologer narrated thus.
When the astrologers told about the sun-eclipse, then the mother and brother of Krishna thought about going to Kurukshetra
(His) father set out with his army and took Krishna with him.
Forming different groups, the father of Krishna started going and this all was so mysterious and wonderful that none could understand it.2415.
From here Sri Krishna came (Kurukshetra) and from there Nanda etc all came there.
From this side, Krishna was coming and from that side Nand and all other people including Chander Bhaga, Radha and gopis were seen coming by Krishna
They all became wonder-struck and silent on seeing the beauty of Krishna
Nand and Yashoda, feeling extreme affection, hugged him.2416.
Nand-Yashoda, affectionately, with tears flowing from their eyes, said, “O Krishna! you had suddenly abandoned Braja and
