Krishna asks Sudama why he didn't ever stop to think about how he would feel about his friend not coming to him while in need, and accuses him of forgetting him π Sudama assures him that that is not the case. Krishna's guards arrive w/ his vastra, and Krishna gives it to Sudama insisting that he wear it. Sudama accompanies him to the palace.
They are welcomed by JS, and Krishna forces Sudama to grace his throne. JS bring a foot-bowl and goblet for his feet to be washed, and Sudama tries to decline by saying that Krishna is a ruler (I thought Balarama was the ruler. Whatever...) Krishna then tends to Sudama's foot injuries, removing the thorns π and Sudama looks @ him painfully.
Later, Krishna brings to Sudama food, and insists on feeding him. As usual, Sudama tries to convince him not to, and Krishna begs him to obey him w/o question for once π Sudama concedes and lets him.
Sudama is later well rested in the palace, and Krishna gives him a new set of clothes that he insists he wears (Krishna should have given him some footwear as well, or he'll again go thru all those thorns barefoot) Sudama picks up his old clothes. Krishna asks him why he wants it, since he won't be needing that any more, but Sudama tells him that those were his during his times of dire need.
Sudama takes his bundle, and notices the bag of poha that his wife had given him to give Krishna. He is too embarrassed to give Krishna something this meagre, and so hides it in his bundle, but while he's ready to leave, that bag of poha falls to the ground. Krishna notices it and looks @ him.
