Akshayapatra Story
Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- Previously, in Duryodhana's palace
- O Sage, I request you to visit the Pandavas at a certain hour of the day after Draupadi has finished her meal, with all of your disciples.
- Duryodhana, I am pleased with your hospitality. What would you like in return?
- Okay. I am, as you must know, fond of testing others.
- Later, in the Pandavas' ashrama
- I request you to be ready with food when my disciples and I return from our bath in the river.
- O Respected One, please enter our ashrama and accept our hospitality.
- How will I feed Sage Durvasa and his disciples if I have finished my meal, and the aksaya-patra has exhausted itself? What can I do? I will pray to the Lord.
- Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya
- This is Krishna's response to my prayers?
- Lord Krishna, Sage Durvasa is here and has asked for a meal after the aksaya-patra has exhausted itself. Please tell me, what should I do?
- What?
- Here, give me the pot.
- Draupadi, can you please give me some food, since I am very hungry?
- Ah, one small piece of a green leaf is left. This will be sufficient...
- Bhima! Inform the sage that the food is ready.
- What?! But the food isn't ready...
- Oh, how could I have cleaned so carelessly?
- Forgive me and my disciples, we cannot eat any more. The moment we entered the river, it felt as though we had eaten a wonderful meal. We will take your leave now.
- And thus, Pandavas, the thought, or sankalpa, of me is enough to achieve anything.
