the king of Jaiselmer.They are not happy because, they have not any son. King have Faith in Lord Krishna too much, they were already being to Dwaradeesh for 12 times to pray for his Kindom's happiness. One day, in early morning, on being good rain, they decided to have darshan of Lord Krishna in Dwarika. In same time,some farmers going for farming, but on seeing the King they all turn back to their home. 


The King was surprised at their act, and asked them, what was the problem? Farmers told the King that they believed, in early morning, seeing a childless King's face may cause their crops to fail. That's why they all wanted to return back to their homes. The King was very kind
man, so he forgives the farmers, and does not punished them, But after hearing this, the King was very upset, and decided to go and asked about his problem to Lord Krishna.

When the King reached Dwarika, he starts pray in the front of Lord Krishna's Idol, but not getting any response from the Idol, the King got angry n picked a dried laddoo [ sweet] and throw on the head of the Idol. After seeing all this, The Pujari of Temple, understand that the King is mad. Then he told to King - Lord Krishna is not live in this Idol, He live in that sea. King thinks, that Pujari is true, So the fearless King dived in arabian sea. Please at the King's Faith n Dedication, The Lord Krishna granted a Darshan to King. After seeing Lord Krishna in front of King, the King was very happy, but also surprised and asked - "How do you get wound on your forehead?" The Shree Krishna smiled and told " Its my devotee's offering" . The King regret after hearing this, and crying and apologize on Shree Krishna's feet.




After hearing from the lord, King got emotional and praying for the child. Than Lord Krishna gave him a wish, and promised to take a birth in King's place as his child. The King asked - "how would I know that u come?" 


Lord Krishna told him that when I'll take a birth in your place, there will be sign of my foot print of Kumkum powder. and at your home, the whole water in the pots become milk magically.
