Thereupon the lotus-eyed god said to Krishna. This is not the time for joke, O Krishna; I am assailed with hunger and fatigue; soon go, fetch the vessel and show me. Having thus got persistently the vessel brought, the ornament of the Yadu race, Keshava, saw a particle of rice and vegetable sticking at a corner. Eating it up he said to her "May the lord Hari, the soul of the universe, be pleased with it and may the God who partakes at sacrifices be satiated with it."
ततः प्रोवाच भगवान् कृष्णां कमललोचनः॥ कृष्णे न नर्मकालोऽयं क्षुच्छ्रमेणातुरे मयि। शीघ्रं गच्छ मम स्थालीमानीय त्वं प्रदर्शय॥ इति निर्बन्धतः स्थालीमानाय्य स यदूद्वहः। स्थाल्याः कण्ठेऽथ संलग्नं शाकानं वीक्ष्य केशवः॥ उपयुज्याब्रवीदेनामनेन हरिरीश्वरः। विश्वात्मा प्रीयतां देवस्तुष्टश्चास्त्विति यज्ञभुक्॥
