Yudhistira felt happy. He asked his brothers and ministers to come along with him to see Bhishma. Everyone started getting ready, eagerly waiting to meet and greet Bhishma. Dhritarashtra, Vidura, Gandhari, Draupadi and the Kunti and other royal women also went along.
Reaching the spot where Bhishma was lying, they all sat around him.
Bhishma said - You have Krishna with you. I am blessed that he has come along with you here. Krishna - You are the one true being, the maker of all.
There was once a priest called Krishanu. He was a great devotee of yours and used to pray to you and cook for you and feed you. You wanted to test him. You took the form of a dog and came to him. Seeing the priest, the dog scared started running. The priest started chasing the dog, saying please come and take part of my offering. God is in all. You are Krishna for me. Please take my offering.
Krishna pleased appeared before him in his form with four hands. He said I am pleased with you. Please cook for me everyday and I will eat from your hands. Krishna, you are my creator and I know no one else, other than you. The others are all in your protection.
In Gaya there was a priest who in the name of worship used to perform evil deeds. He used to trade in leather and lived in the company of the cobblers. He used to spit and blow on everything. He left his prayers and worship. When he went home, he cooked and first fed Krishna, took his name and then took his food.
When he died, the attendants of Yama came to take him but was stopped by the attendants of Vishnu, as he had been taking name of Krishna everyday evening.
Yudhistira , do not ever be jealous of other and do not insult anyone. especially brahmins. Discard anger and grief.
