Thousands of devotees have preached the supremacy of lord Jagannath once and again.One such devotee is Meerabai, the sister of king Jaisingh .On attaining majority Meerabai's heart became inclined towards lord krishna. Once a painter presented a set of paints to the royal family and Meerabai choose one of them. The paint attracted her so much that she wanted to get the painted lord(krishna) as her husband . She, all the time talked with the paint and loved it with heart and soul. Her love was so pure that Lord Krishna ,who is none other than jagannath, was kind enough to give her a darshan . Meerabai, not knowing that lord God is before her ,she tried to catch Him. Meera could not but surrender, with pure devotion and see ! the lord came to her and took her to His lap to embrace her. On knowing that the lord Sreekrushna blessed her with darshan, Meera forgot everything except God. It so happened that the king came to know that Meera is with physical relation with one unknown to them. The king tried to kill her with poison and served her poison. But Meera took the same, offered it to her beloved God and drank it . Poison had no effect on her. The king ,being not satisfied with it tried to kill her by stones.On the direction of King Jai singh huge stones were thrown at Meerabai . But stones touched her with the smoothness of a flower. Not only that Jai singh saw that Meera is on the lap of lord Krishna. The pure love of Meera put everyone in utter astonishment. Now Jaisingh had to surrender before the almighty God and Meera became famous for her pure love for the lord.
