SRUTADEVA AND BAHULASVA.

*SKANDHA X. CHAP. 86.*

Srutadeva, a Brahmana of Mithila, was much devoted to Sri Krishna. The

prince of Mithila, Bahulasva, was also a favorite of Sri Krishna. To

favor them, Sri Krishna went with Narada and other Rishis to Mithila.

Srutadeva and Bahulasva each asked him to go to his own house. Krishna

to please them both went to the houses of both at the same time, being

unnoticed by each in respect of his going to the other's house. Both

Bahulasva and Srutadeva received Sri Krishna and the Rishis with due

respect. Sri Krishna taught Srutadeva to respect the Brahmana Rishis as

much as he respected him. After giving proper instructions to the prince

and the Brahmana for sometime, Sri Krishna returned to Dvaraka.
