The Kauravas are consumed by jealousy of the Pandavas, and lose no opportunity to cause them trouble. With a view to harming the Pandavas, Duryodhana sends sage Durvasa to them, telling him that they will have no trouble providing food to him and any number of people accompanying him.
The Pandavas have in their possession a vessel called Akshayapatra, which supplies infinite amount of food, to feed sages who turn up on their doorstep. But the vessel will give food only till it is cleaned for the day. Once that is done, it will not yield anything, until the next day. Durvasa goes to the Pandavas with a large number of his disciples. He says he is hungry and asks for food for all of them.
The sage said he is going to bathe in a river and while coming back, he and his followers will take food. Meanwhile, Draupadi had cleaned up the Akshayapatra and the Pandavas were in a fix. If food is not served, Durvasa, known for his quick temper, will curse them.
DURYODHANA'S MISCHIEF
Draupadi pleads to Lord Krishna for help & save them from the situation caused by Duryodhana's mischief. The Lord asks her to serve Him some food. Draupadi is puzzled by the request. How can she serve Krishna when there is no food left? Krishna, asks Draupadi to see whether there is at least some leftover in the Akshayapatra. She looks out and finds a leaf in the vessel. The Lord takes it from her and eats it.
No sooner has the Lord eaten the grain, Durvasa senses a certain fullness in his stomach. He feels he cannot eat even a morsel of food. So he does not come to Draupadi for food.
Thus, as always, Lord Krishna comes to the rescue of Draupadi.
The Lord always comes to the help of those who are devoted to Him.
