Long Long Ago there lived a Brahmin family near Hastina Pur.In this family there were four members,Brahmin,his wife,son and daughter-in-law. Brahmin Used to collect the remaining grains from the fields after all the crops got cut and collected by the farmers.It was sufficient for their family.The family was contented and hospitable.
Once there was drought,there were no crops in the farmers,the Brhmin was not able to collect enough grains for the family.whatever was brought by him,was equally distributed and eaten by the family after praying to GOD.Continuous fasting made the family weaker.
One day Brahmin was walking one farm to another farm and he could able to collect some barley grains,his wife made its flour,they prayed to GOD,distributed the flour among themselves,they were just about to eat it while a guest reached there,The Brahmin welcomed him,he washed his feet,offered him a seat and the flour of his own share,but how could he be satisfied with a pinch of flour,so his wife also gave him her own share,then his son also gave him his own share.Daughter-in-law also reached there,Brahmin said”You have become very weak so don’t give your share”She said”All the guests are like “Narayan”{GOD}it is my duty to serve him,I will also follow you”and she gave her own shate to the guest.After eating,he asked for water.While he was giving water,he saw his hut was shining with a sparkling lights,he saw his guest was not just an ordinary man but he was “Dharmraj”He took the whole family to Heaven.A Mongoose was living in that hut,he came there and laid down on the floor,there was some barley flour sprinkled there,so the half of his body converted into gold and he started speaking in human voice.
Once in Indraprasth “Dharmraj”organised a “Yagya”{A Holy Event}The Mongoose reached there also,he laid down there,but his remaining half part of the body did not convert into gold.
That Mongoose told this story to Pandawaj ,and said”Though Dharmraj Yudhishthir is Kind hearted,and hospitable,but his big “Yagya”is not equal to that Brahmin family’s hospitality.
