Rishi Durvasa

When Draupadi had nothing to feed hungry Rishi Durvasa and his shishyas. ...then how Shri Krishna helped his devotee Draupadi.Once Durvasa Rishi visited Duryodhna, Durvasa being pleased by Duryodhana’s patronage decided to reward him and Duryodhana asks him to visit Yudhishthara after Draupadi had taken her meal. Pandavas had the Aksha Patra which enabled them to feed the huge contingent with them.But once Draupadi had her meal for the day, it would not produce food. Durvasa Rishi reached to the place of Yudhishthira during their Vanprashtha with thousands of shishya and asked for food. He went to nearby river to have sacred bath before food with his shishyas.Draupadi had finished her meal for that day and Akshya Patra would not produce food anymore. Draupadi prayed to Krishna to protect them from the anger of Sage Durvasa. Krishna heard the plea and arrived in front of Draupadi. He said, "I'm quite hungry. Please give me some food.Draupadi begged Krishna, instead of assisting me, you are merely adding to my misery. You know there is no food left, and the pot cannot make any more food for the day." Krishna, on the other hand, insisted, "I won't believe it unless I see it for myself. Please bring the vessel.When they peeked into the vessel, they noticed a grain of rice and a little of cooked vegetable stuck to the side. Krishna ate them greedily and with enjoyment. Krishna instructed Bhima to go and inform the sage that food was ready and that he may come with his pupils.When Bhima arrived at the river and delivered the message, the sage remarked, "Bhima, we have already finished our full meals and are really satisfied. We seek Yudhishthira's forgiveness." Durvasa and his disciples then left the site. Pandavas were greatly relieved...............Jay Shree Krishna 🙏
