If that is so, when he saw me and then gave the great wealth, why did he not tell me that he had done so? Certainly my friend, saying directly, gives to such beggars as me more than abundant wealth. But his reason for not saying so is that he is known to have excessive wealth because he is the husband of Laksmi (bhuri bhojah). The wish of the Lord is as follows. "My dear friend has given me a quantity rice more than what he eats himself,,more than his capacity. He has brought that , begging from the others in his house. Therefore, I should also give to him wealth beyond my own capacity. But my offerings are not equal to his. What then to speak of offering beyond my capacity? I cannot surpass or even equal his giving of his food." Thinking that even offering me a post of Indra or Brahma would be insignificant, he, bhuri bhojah, became embarrassed, and therefore without saying, gave this to me without my knowing. He gives an example. The merciful rain cloud, capable of filling the ocean, accepts the articles of worship from the farmer. Thinking that what he gives is very little, though great by the expectations of the farmer, the cloud in embarrassment does not give rain in the presence of the farmer, but gives rain at night while the farmer is sleeping. This is the position of Krsna, the best of the generous dynasty of the Yadus (dasarhakanam rsabaha).

The best of the Dāśārhas is my friend. Without saying anything, he gave to me wealth like Vaikuṇṭha, without my knowing, though I concealed that I was begging. How did he know that I wanted to ask though I said nothing? He personally sees since he is the crown jewel of omniscience. He gave abundantly (bhūri) because he is embarrassed to give a little (bhūri-bhojaḥ). This is the reason he gave without saying anything, invisibly. This was in response to my not overtly begging. By his nature he gives unconditionally. This is seen elsewhere also. He is like the cloud. Sometimes without request, when people are sleeping, the cloud without thunder showers rain. On thinking of this quality of the Lord, Sudāmā felt intense love, and thus called him the best of the Dāśārhas. Out of intense bliss he says “He is my friend.”

Certainly (nanu) the Lord enjoys plentifully (bhūri-bhojaḥ) in this world and the next. The cause is that he is inclined to display his unlimited good qualities (dāśārāṇāmṛṣabhaḥ). Thus he is my friend. Otherwise he would not be friends with a low person like me. Or out of joy he considers himself in a good position. Intoxicated with bhakti, he shows great possessiveness of the Lord, called him “my friend.” Without speaking in my presence (samakṣam), or without my seeing (asamakṣam) he gave this to me, who was going to ask him. He would, while speaking, give directly to me, if I did not intend to ask.
