Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 39


Sanskrit:

निवेद्य गां चातिथये संवाह्य श्रान्तमादृत: ।अन्नं बहुगुणं मेध्यं श्रद्धयोपाहरद् विभु: ॥ ३९ ॥

ITRANS:

nivedya gāṁ cātithayesaṁvāhya śrāntam āḍṛtaḥannaṁ bahu-guṇaṁ medhyaṁśraddhayopāharad vibhuḥ

Translation:

The almighty Lord Balarāma presented Akrūra with the gift of a cow, massaged his feet to relieve him of fatigue and then with great respect and faith fed him suitably prepared food of various fine tastes.

Purport:

According to Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī, Akrūra went to Kṛṣṇa’s and Balarāma’s house on the twelfth lunar day, on which one should not break a fast at night. However, Akrūra dispensed with this formality because he was eager to receive food in the Lord’s house.
