PLATE THIRTEEN

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