Krishna and the Fruit Vendor

From Srimad Bhagavata Maha Purana:

The child Krishna scoops up a handful of grain to pay for fruits from a street vendor woman. But by the time the beautiful child Krishna waddles across the street, the grain has mostly slipped out of his tiny palm, leaving just a few grains. 

Struck by the divine beauty of the child, the vendor woman loads the child Krishna with fruit, in spite of his not having anything to pay for it. The child's charm and beauty sends the woman into ecstasy, and she finds her way back home with her mind full of thoughts of Krishna. Only when she reaches home does she see that her fruit basket is filled to the brim with precious jewels!

The Lord says in the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 9, Verses 26 and 27)

| | पत्रम्́ पुष्पम्́ फलम्́ तॊयम्́ | यॊ मॆ भक्त्या प्रयच्छति | तद् अहम्́ भक्त्य्-उपह्ड़्तम् | अश्नामि प्रयतात्मनः | |
 • patraḿ puṣpaḿ phalaḿ toyaḿ
 • yo me bhaktyā prayacchati
 • tad ahaḿ bhakty-upahṛtam
 • aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ

If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it.

| | यत् करॊषि यद् अश्नासि | यज् जुहॊषि ददासि यत् | यत् तपस्यसि कौंतॆय | तत् कुरुष्व मद्-अर्पणम् | |
 • yat karoṣi yad aśnāsi
 • yaj juhoṣi dadāsi yat
 • yat tapasyasi kaunteya
 • tat kuruṣva mad-arpaṇam

Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform — do that, O son of Kuntī, as an offering to Me.
