Sudama. Krsna very gladly accepted a gift of flat rice from Sudima

Nanda Maharaja and the residents of Vrndavana, who had also come

the women assembed at Kuruksetra engaged in topics of Sri Krsna and
how Draupadi asked all Krsna’s queens about how they had married
Him. Chapter Eighty-four contains seventy-one verses. As described in
this chapter, when great sages went to see Krsna at Kuruksetra, Krsna
took this opportunity to praise them. Because Vasudeva desired to per-
