2.4.37.28

27. The twice-born named Viṣṇudāsa, seeing an outcaste stealing his dry food, running after him to give him clarified butter; then, seeing the outcaste fallen unconscious, Viṣṇudāsa showing hospitality to that outcaste out of compassion; then, the Lord, assuming the form of an outcaste, showing favor to Viṣṇudāsa; by the Lord's grace, the arrival of an aerial chariot from heaven for the brahmin Viṣṇudāsa; as Viṣṇudāsa mounts it and departs, the Cola king entering fire; then, the Lord revealing his true form to him; and both the Cola king and the brahmin Viṣṇudāsa attaining liberation. 177 2
