Sage Maithreya visits Krishna

After few months, all yaadavaas  went to Prabhaasa theerdham to perform a great uthsav.There,they gave donations on large scale.They prepared many tasty dishes and ate.They enjoyed by drinking alcohol.They were not in proper senses and laughed at one another,fought with others and killed one another.Sree KRISHNA was observing all this dispassionately.He performed last rites to all of them.Balaram also left his body and reached heaven.Uddhava went in search of Krishna and found him under Aswaddha vruksham.He was lying with his four arms and halo around his head.He kept his right foot on his left thigh and was thinking with closed eyes.
At the same time,Sage Maithreya came there.He is classmate of Vedavyaas.Great disciple and follower of Krishna.He saw Krishna and closed his eyes with reverence.
While Maithreya was hearing,Krishna addressed Uddhava and told him.Uddhava!you were Vasuvu (deities purohith)in your earlier life.While all your people were performing Sathrayagam,you had no wishes to make except permission to serve at my feet.So,I decided to stay in your heart.This is your last birth.I am going to impart the celestial knowledge which I gave to Brahma in Padmakalpam.Then you will be free of these materialistic attachments and understand me and attain Moksha.
I was happy hearing those words.Krishna gave me that knowledge.I saluted Him.I am returning to Badarikaasramam now.Now,Maithreya Maharshi is thinking of leaving his body.Sree Krishna has directed him to teach Thaththvajnaanam to you.If you go fast and reach him,He is sure to impart you with philosophical Thaththva jnaananam.SOo,Uddhava told this to Vidura.
