Lord Krishna and Dakor

Ranchodraiji

Once Lord Krishna and Bhima went to the hermitage of Dank Rishi for darshan. Dank Rishi received them and Lord Krishna, gracious as he was to his devotees, rendered homage to Dank Rishi and being pleased with his penance asked him to demand something from Him by way of blessings. Dank Rishi requested him to stay in his hermitage permanently along with Lord Shiva. For a while Lord Krishna remained silent pondering over the demand of Dank Rishi and finally, while consenting to his request, he promised that in kaliyug after staying in Dwaraka for 4225 years. He would come to reside in this land permanently. Thus, Lord Krishna was invited to come to Dakor.
