One day his wife told him,"Even if we remain hungry at least our children should be able to get food to eat."
Sudama was poor but he didn't like to take any favors. He felt hurt by his wife's statement. He said, "What can be done? We can't ask for favors from anybody."
Sudama's wife replied, "Krishna is a good friend of yours. You have been saying that you have a deep bond of friendship with him. He is the King of Dwarka, so why don't you go to him? There won't be any need to ask for anything there."
Sudama found wisdom in the words of his wife. He decided to go to Dwarka & said, "I'll definitely go to Krishna but what should I take along with his children?"
