PLATE THIRTEEN
Once an aborigine woman, a fruit vendor, came into Vrndāvana. “O inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi,” she called out, “if you want to purchase some fruits, come here!” Upon hearing this, Krṣṇa immediately took some grains in the palms of His hands and went to barter for some fruits. While Krṣṇa very hastily approached the fruit vendor, most of the grains He was holding fell out of His hands. Nonetheless, the fruit vendor filled Krṣṇa’s hands with fruits, and her fruit basket was immediately filled with jewels and gold. ( pp. 227–28 )
