Those Brahmanas got enraged and blamed Ramadasa, the bhakta, to be a thief. Ramadasa wept bitterly as he could not bear separation from Shri Krishna. “Oh! Brahmana! Give that much gold equal to the weight of Shri Krishna and then take Him home. Yes, we mean what we say”. The vaishnavas told so as they thought that the brahmana would not be able to give gold equal to the weight of Shri Krishna and hence would return home. But, the Brahmanas wife happily agreed to part with all her jewels at once. Lord Krishna, the benefactor of the bhaktas, was seated on the pan of a balance. On the other the woman placed her Managalasutra with abiding faith. Shri Krishna who has no parallel or equal gives Himself away to the bhaktas. Hence He caused His weight to be equal to the weight of the Mangalasutra of that chaste woman. Seeing this miraculous event all shouted “Hari! Hari”. They spoke high of the old man and his wife and praised Lord Krishna.
