Amghat

 

One day the Lord performed saṅkīrtana with all His devotees, and when they were greatly fatigued they sat down. The Lord then sowed a mango seed in the yard, and immediately the seed fructified into a tree and began to grow. As people looked on, the tree became fully grown, with fruits that fully ripened. Thus everyone was struck with wonder. The Lord immediately picked about two hundred fruits, and after washing them He offered them to Kṛṣṇa to eat. The fruits were all red and yellow, with no seed inside and no skin outside, and eating one fruit would immediately fill a man’s belly. Seeing the quality of the mangoes, the Lord was greatly satisfied, and thus after eating first, He fed all the other devotees. The fruits had no seeds or skins. They were full of nectarean juice and were so sweet that a man would be fully satisfied by eating only one. In this way, fruits grew on the tree every day throughout the twelve months of the year, and the Vaiṣṇavas used to eat them, to the Lord’s great satisfaction. These are confidential pastimes of the son of Śacī. Other than devotees, no one knows of this incident.
(CC Adi 17.79 – 17.87)
