One day, at the instance of his wife, Kucela started for Dvārakā to visit Kṛṣṇa with a packet of rice flakes as a present to him. Kṛṣṇa received his old classmate most cordially, and ate one handful of rice flakes from the packet brought by Kucela. Rukmiṇī prevented him from a second helping of the flakes. After spending some time most happily with his old friend, Kucela started homewards. Only on his way back did he think that Kṛṣṇa had not given him any monetary help. But, by the time he reached home his old dilapidated house had converted itself into a beautiful mansion, and his wife and children were in great happiness. Śrī Kṛṣṇa's blessings thus converted poor Kucela into a very rich person. (Bhāgavata, 10th Skandha). - [Previous: c7.2932](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2932) - [Next: c7.2934](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2934) - [Up: c7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7) ## Cites (1) - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2933](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c7.2933) · Pramāṇa
