TALE OF THE KING NRIG Once, Lord Krishnas sons visited the forests. There they saw a huge Chameleon fallen in a large, deep well. They tried to pull it out but in vain. The princes, therefore, returned to the palace and related this strange episode to Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna too came to the well and with His left hand, easily pulled the Chameleon out. As soon as the chameleon came out, it turned into a divine god and began to worship Krishna . He said: O Lord Krishna, I am Nrig. The king Ikshvaku was my father. In my life, I had donated uncountable numbers of cows to the Brahmins. But once a cow, donated by me, returned to my cowshed. By mistakeI made a resolution to donate it to another Brahmin. My action led to a dispute between the two Brahmins, andmy wisdom failed to settle their dispute.Both the Brahmins went away unsatisfied, but I met this fate after death. Since then, I had been in this wellin the form of a chameleon. Now, by the graceful touch of your hands, O Lord, I have received salvation. King Nrig then went around Lord Krishna and returned to his heavenly abode.
