Goddess of Fortune Himself a friend of
your adored self ? O you who are blessed !

He will give ample wealth to you who
are perishing with a large family."

KRISHNA AVATARA
 
स एवं भार्यया विप्रो बहुशः प्रार्थितो मृदुः ।
' अयं हि परमो लाभ उत्तमश्लोकदर्शनम्' ।

Thus entreated many times, softly,
by his wife, the Brahmin thought : " This
indeed is the greatest gain, the seeing of
the Lord of purest fame." And he decided
to go (to the Lord).
 
याचित्वा चतुरो मुष्टीन् विप्रान् पृथुकतण्डुलान् ।
चेलखण्डेन बद्धवा स प्रययौ द्वारकां किल ।
कृष्णसन्दर्शनं मह्यं कथं स्यादिति चिन्तयन् ॥

and flattened rice), and tying them in a
piece of cloth, Kuchela proceeded to
Dvaraka, thinking: "How can I have the
sight of Krishna ?"
