Krsna and Sudama

Lord Krsna  is lovingly inclined to all humans
As Brahmanyadeva, He is especially worshiped by all brahmanas
But one who surrenders fully to Lord Krsna 
Automatically attains the position of a brahmana !

Krsna  and Sudama, two friends of old
A king and a pauper – differences untold !
When Lord Krsna  heard of Sudama ‘s arrival at His gate
   He rushed out barefeet, in great haste

Krsna  seated Sudama on His golden throne
Washed his feet and pampered them as His own
Fed him fruits, food and drinks of every taste
And applied on his forehead cool sandalwood paste

Krsna  made Sudama recline on His bed
The very same He’d laid Rukmini on, when They’d wed
Krsna  treated Sudama like His own brother
And chatted with him of their youth spent together
