Sudhama
Sudama was going through extreme poverty, not even having enough money to feed his children, his wife Niyati Desai reminded him of his friendship with Krishna.

Though initially reluctant to go to his friend for help, Sudama finally agrees to go. He left with nothing but some beaten rice, Poha tied in a cloth as a present. He remembered that beaten rice Krishna's favorite and decided to give this as a gift to the Lord. Krishna was greatly pleased to see his old friend. He treated him royally and with much love. Overwhelmed by all this Sudama forgot to ask what he came for. Nevertheless, the Lord realized what His friend needs, and the Lord's consort Rukmini, incarnation of Lakshmi, bestowed his desires upon him.
