She said, “Sudama, these grams are for you and Krishna. It will help you both when you will feel hungry”. Sudama took the grams and left for the Jungle with Krishna.Krishna and Sudama worked really hard to fetch the wood. In the middle of the work, Sudama felt hungry. So, he grabbed some grams and ate them hiding from Krishna.The task was difficult and they both were tired and hungry at the end. Krishna asked Sudama if we had something to eat. Sudama denied. He kept the remaining grams for himself and ate it when Krishna was not looking. But Krishna knew that Sudama was hiding something.Sudama ate the share of Krishna too as he thought Krishna would never find out that he had grams. This particular incident had its own consequences.Sudama ate the share of Krishna and this is the reason that he had to spend his later life in poverty. It was later when Sudama offered rice made by his wife to Krishna that he was blessed with a palace and riches.Sudama spent most of his life in poverty for telling a lie and eating the share of Krishna’s food. Sudama was a friend of Krishna but wrongdoing would never bear anyone.

Krishna and Sudama in Jungle

xSudama was a poor Brahmin man. He didn't have money to even feed his children. His wife once said to him with tearful eyes, "It doesn't matter if we are hungry, but at least we should be able to feed the kids enough."Hearing this Sudama was hurt. He said, "What can be done? We can't ask anyone for favours." Sudama's wife replied, "You're talking so often about Krishna. You've been saying you have a deep bond of friendship with him. He's the King of Dwarka, so why don't you go to him?"Sudama's financial condition was getting worse. He liked the idea of his wife and decided to go to Dwarka. He thought he must take something for his friend. Sudama's wife borrowed from their neighbour some rice and made a dish of rice snacks. Sudama took the rice snacks and left for the palace.Sudama was shocked when he saw Dwarka. The whole town was built with gold. He asked for directions for the palace of Krishna and finally reached there. When the palace guards saw Sudama looking like a solitary person, they asked, "Why did you come here?". Sudama replied, "I'm here to meet Krishna, my friend. Go tell him Sudama has come to meet you."The guards smiled when they saw the outfit of Sudama. However, one of them went and informed Krishna about Sudama’s arrival. After hearing Sudama’s name, Krishna stood up and ran to meet him immediately. Everyone was confused when they saw such a great King running barefoot to greet his poor friend.Seeing the riches of Krishna, Sudama felt ashamed of the rice snacks he carried with him and tried to hide the package, but Krishna snatched it from him. Krishna ate the rice and said, "In anything else, I have never tasted such sweetness."He stayed for two days at the palace but couldn't plan to ask for any favours from Krishna. Sudama left the palace on third day. On the way back home Sudama wondered, "What shall I say when my wife asks me what I have brought back?". When he approached home, he couldn't find his hut. His wife instead came out of a beautiful palace and was dressed in elegant clothes. She said to Sudama, "Look at Krishna's power; we've got rid of our misery.Sudama recollected the pure love of Krishna and tears rolled down from his eyes out of happiness. Moral:Friendship is all about love and respect. It should never be neglected due to richness and poorness.
