SRI KRISHNA LEELAMRUTHAM (THE NECTARINE STORIES OF THE DEEDS OF LORD KRISHNA)

10. LORD KRISHNA AND THE FRUIT SELLER

After hearing the fallen sound of the Yamala-Arjuna trees like thunderbolts, people of Vraja feared and rushed to come to the spot. The people saw that the fallen twin trees on the ground. They were stuck with wonder and they couldn't believe the incident in which how a small child can perform these miraculous event. The cowherd men in Gokula were perplexed to find out the trace of incident. They themselves questioned that how little Krishna could drag the Yamala-Arjuna trees. Even if He had dragged, He would have smashed by the trees. But the divine child was still standing as He was. They astonished and said, "How is this possible? It must be due to a demon otherwise how it will happen?". Another said, "Yes, your correct. The child would have smashed in between the twin trees but it is still astonishing that He is safe and standing still!". When there were in a confused state, the cowherd boys said, "We will tell you what was actually happened. When Krishna was moving along with the bounded husking-stand, He was stuck in between the Yamala-Arjuna trees. In order to come out, He put on His full power to drag the trees. With greater power exerted by Krishna, the twin trees fallen on the ground with fierce sound. As soon as the trees fallen on the ground, there appeared two handsome men and they were talking to Krishna. Krishna was also speaking to them! We were the eye witness of the incident". On hearing this, some of the cowherd men didn't believe what the other boys told them. But some of the cow-heard men believed that Sri Krishna is equal to Lord Vishnu and they explained everything to Nanda Maharaja. They told that Krishna has some amazing power due to the God's grace.  Nanda Maharaja with unlimited affection released the ropes of Krishna.

One day a fruit seller woman arrived Gokula to sell fruits. Her basket contained delicious fruits including variety of mangoes. She was calling, "Oh people of vraja! Please come here and purchase these delicious fruits". Usually, aborigines used to sell fruits in village. Lord Krishna on hearing the fruit seller's voice, hastily collected grains in his small palms. He used to notice that His parents exchanged grains to have fruits. Lord Krishna thus imitated the same. As He came in a haste to give grains to the fruit seller woman, almost all grains fell on the ground which He was holding. When the  fruit seller woman was very much attracted by the charm of Lord Krishna, she immediately accepted few grains which was left in His palm. She filled His hands with full of fruits with greater affection. After this time, suddenly her basket was found to be filled with jewels and diamonds. 

 Lord Krishna immediately accept even a leaf or water offered by His  devotees. He is praised by His mercy nature. If one offers something Him with devotion and love, Lord Krishna happily accept it and will reciprocate it more than millions times with unlimited love.
