"Where am I, a pauper and a sinner
and where is Krishna, the abode of the
Goddess of Fortune? He embraced me
with his arms because I was born a
Brahmin. The worship of His feet is the
source of all attainments. The merciful
Lord, I am sure, did not give me ample
wealth, thinking that, obtaining wealth,
this poor self of mine might get intoxi-
cated and forget Him." Thus thinking
within himself, Kuchela approached the
vicinity of his home, which was (now)
surrounded on all sides by storied
mansions bright like the sun, fire and
moon, and wonderful parks and gardens
full of bevies of warbling birds, and in-
habited by beautifully decked men and
fawn-eyed women.
