    Thousands of devotees have preached the supremacy of lord jagannath once and again.One such devotee is Krushna Das of shreekhetra(puri) amongst them.He used to chant the eternal name of lord God and write bhajans. Once it so happened that the king of Puri came to know about Krushna Das . The king called him and requested him to recite a song in praise of the king in the king's court. Krushna Das was not willing to sing a song praising anyone other than the lord God Jagannath. Krushna Das was very humble and bold enough  to deny the request. The king Mahipala was equally revengful to punish Krushna Das for his disobdience. Krushna Das was imprisoned with ropes tide to his hands. Krushna Das was helpless but cofident that God would come to his rescue. He prayed the almighty . The next morning the king found that Krishna Das was free and not only that the hands of lord Jagannath was found tide to everybody's surprise. The king embraced Krushna Das and begged apology before lord Jagannath with hands at His feet.

    Thus the supremacy of lord Jagannath(bada thakura) was readout once more. (jai Jagannath)
