Lord Krishna: \u201cI am too hungry! Just give Me anything to eat\u201d.
\n\u201cDurvasa arrived at the Pandavas\u2019 cottage hungry with his ten thousand disciples just after Draupadi had finished her meal. King Yudhisthira greeted him respectfully and offered obeisances to the exalted sage. He then invited him and his disciples to lunch. When the sage accepted the invitation, King Yudhisthira asked Durvasa to go and bathe at the nearby Devanadi (Vimala Kunda, at Kamyavana). But when King Yudhisthira learned that Draupadi had already eaten from her magical pot, he became worried. If Draupadi had eaten, her mystical pot, a gift from the sun god, would produce no more that day. If the Pandavas were unable to feed their ten thousand guests after they had been invited, the wrathful Durvasa would certainly curse them. A distressed Draupadi prayed to Lord Krishna to save them. At the time, Krishna was lying on Rukminidevi\u2019s bed, and she was fanning Him with a camara. Although for His pastimes it seemed that Krishna was present only in Dvaraka, as the Supreme Lord He is always present everywhere, so He heard Draupadi, whose heart was full of devotion, and appeared before her immediately.<\/p>\n
\u201cKrishna said, \u2018I\u2019m very hungry. Give Me something to eat.\u2019 Draupadi felt both like smiling and crying when she heard Krishna\u2019s request, so much did she love to cook for Him. But she had already eaten and there was now nothing left. She told Krishna she was sorry, and then said, \u2018Durvasa and his ten thousand disciples are about to come here for lunch on Yudhisthira\u2019s invitation. If we fail to feed them, then his curse will destroy our entire family.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cKrishna said, \u2018I have no time to hear more. I am too hungry! Just give Me anything to eat.\u2019 When Draupadi again mentioned that the pot she had received from Suryadeva was empty, Krishna asked to see it. In the pot He found a small piece of spinach, which He then ate. Draupadi also gave Him some water. He said, tripto \u2019smi, \u2018I am fully satisfied.\u2019 And as soon as Krishna was satisfied, Durvasa and his disciples were also satisfied, as if they\u2019d eaten a banquet. Durvasa was astonished by how full his stomach felt, and when he saw that his disciples felt the same, they realized they could never honor whatever the Pandavas were cooking. If they went to lunch and then didn\u2019t eat, they would be committing an offense. Durvasa already knew how much trouble he would undergo if he offended a Vaishnava from his encounter with Maharaja Ambarisa. Thinking it better to wait until they were hungry again before returning to the Pandavas\u2019 camp, Durvasa ordered his disciples to take rest. When the afternoon grew late and Durvasa had not returned for his meal, Lord Krishna sent Bhima out to call for him. Hearing Bhima\u2019s voice, Durvasa became afraid and, with his disciples, ran away. Of course, when they arrived at the camp again the next day, they were properly served.\u201d Lord Krishna: “I am too hungry! Just give Me anything to eat”.
