KUCELA. Sudāman, better known as Kucela was a brahmin class-mate of Śrī Kṛṣṇa at the Āśrama of sage Sāndīpani. One day Sāndīpani's wife deputed Kucela and Kṛṣṇa to collect fire-wood from the forest, and they had to stay the whole night there as they could not find out the way back to the āśrama due to heavy rain, thunder etc. After their education was over these two thick friends left the āśrama and went their different ways in life.
