Many years later, Sudama who was now a poor Brahmin came for help to Lord Krishna who was the king of Dwarka. Sudama was forced by his wife to seek help from Lord Krishna since she had known a lot about their friendship. A reluctant Sudama hence came to Dwarka to seek financial help from his friend.
He was living a life of penury and had nothing to offer his friend except a few chickpeas which he remembered were Lord Krishna's favorites.
After reaching Dwarka, Lord Krishna not only treated him well, he also blessed him with wealth.
