Child Kṛṣṇa blesses the fruit vendor

Pramāṇa (Śāstra reference)

In ŚB 10.11.10 a fruit vendor calls out to the inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi to come and buy fruit. Hearing her, child Kṛṣṇa immediately takes some grains and hurries to her as if He needed to make an ordinary exchange. Verse 10.11.11 states that most of the grains fall from His hands along the way. Even so, the woman fills Kṛṣṇa’s hands with fruit, and her basket at once fills with gold and jewels. The illustration joins the giving of fruit and the beginning of the basket’s miraculous transformation in one visible moment. The vendor’s appearance, the Gokula courtyard, the flowers, and the arrangement of the spilled grains are artistic reconstruction.

Saṅkṣepa (short meaning)

Hearing the fruit vendor’s call, child Kṛṣṇa takes a handful of grain and hurries to meet her. Almost all the grains spill along the way, yet the woman does not calculate what remains and lovingly fills Kṛṣṇa’s hands with fruit. The Lord transforms her simple gift into immeasurable grace: her basket fills with gold and jewels.
