Krishna was playing in the courtyard
along with Balarama and others. He
heard the voice of a woman in the street
crying out, “Fruits! Jambu fruits!” Jambu
fruits!” Krishna wanted to buy some of
them. But he had no money.
His eager eyes noticed, a
huge heap of grains stocked
nearby. He collected a handful
of grains in his tiny fists and
ran to the street. On the way
most of the grains fell down to
the ground from his hands.
He came to the fruit seller
and holding out his hands
said, ”O dear lady, take these
grains and give me fruits in
exchange.” The woman was
carried away by the beauty
and charm of the boy. The
tinkling of the anklets of his
feet was sweet music to her
ears. She was never to forget
it in her life.
She said, “O my child! You
have come to purchase fruits
in exchange of grains. All the
grains have fallen down on
the way, but still you may take
whatever quantity of fruits you
like.” So saying, she filled his
small hands with as many of
those fruits as he could hold
after he had dropped into her
basket the few grains.
When the woman went
home and looked into her
basket she could not believe
her eyes. All the grains had
turned into jewels and gold.
By performing this miracle
Krishna showed that anything
offered to Krishna with love
and affection returns to
the devotees increased a
thousand fold.
