Because of Durvasa, whose visit was planned out by the enemy; who has a terrible curse; who eats at the head of a line of ten thousand disciples (yah ayutagra-bhuk), Krsna came to us in the forest and saved us, after eating (upayujya) the remnants of food in the pot. Due to that, the group of sages bathing in the water felt satisfied up to the three worlds. The story is told in the Mahabharata. Once, Duryodhana had Durvasa as his guest. Durvasa, satisfied, wanted to grant him a boon. Thinking in his mind that the Pandavas can be destroyed by the curse of Durvasa, he said, “Yudhisthira is the head of our family. Therefore you should be his guest with your ten thousand disciples. But you should go to their house when Draupadi has eaten and is not hungry.†When Durvasa arrived, Yudhisthira with great respect invited him for food after Durvasa had performed the noon bathing rituals. The sages submerged themselves in water for purifying themselves with agha-marsana. The moment Draupadi thought of Krsna he left Rukmini’s side and came there immediately out of affection for his devotee. When she told him what had happened, he said, “O Draupadi, I want to eat. First feed me.†In great shame she said, “Oh! This is my misfortune and fortune. The lord of the three worlds, the lord of sacrifice, has come to my house and is asking for food.†Thinking like this, she said, “O master! My food pot given by the sun god is inexhaustible until I eat. After feeding everyone, I have eaten. There is no more food.†She began to weep. With insistence he made her bring the pot and eating the spinach and rice stuck to the edge of the pot, he said, “Bring the sages to eat.†Bhima was sent. Bhima said, “Please come and eat. Why are you delaying?†Durvasa, being too full, fled, fearing that they had prepared a meal that could not be eaten.
