At that time a lean and thin man came to the king. The man was only
skin and bone. He said,
-I did not get anything to eat for several days. Please give me
something to eat. He had a dog, too. It was also reduced to a
skeleton like him. The man also said,
-Not only me, my dog is also starving with me.
The king gave all his rice and payes to the man and his dog.

The hungry man and his dog vanished in a moment. King Rontidev
saw Bhagaban Srikrishna standing before him. King Rontidev fell

all creatures will remain immortal forever. You will have my mercy
in this world and my company in the world hereafter.'Exercise
