Rantideva was a great king, liberal for hospitality and distribution of foodstuff\|An ancient king prior to the Mahābhārata period, referred to by Nārada Muni while instructing Sañjaya, as mentioned in Mahābhārata (Droṇa-parva 67). He was a great king, liberal for hospitality and distribution of foodstuff. Even Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa praised his acts of charity and hospitality. He was blessed by the great Vasiṣṭha Muni for supplying him cold water, and thus he achieved the heavenly planet. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.12.24)'''}}

On the contrary, for him māyā entirely vanished, exactly like a dream. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 9.21.17)'''}}

The brahmana guest ate his share and then went away\|Because Rantideva perceived the presence of the Supreme Godhead everywhere, and in every living entity, he received the guest with faith and respect and gave him a share of the food. The brāhmaṇa guest ate his share and then went away. Rantideva perceived the presence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in every living being, but he never thought that because the Supreme Lord is present in every living being, every living being must be God. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 9.21.6)'''}}

These great personalities have attained immortal fame simply by sacrificing the perishable body." Lord Kṛṣṇa, in the garb of a brāhmaṇa, thus convinced Jarāsandha that fame is imperishable but the body is perishable. '''(Kṛṣṇa Book, Chapter 72)'''}}

He used to supply fruits, roots and leaves to the ṛṣis, and thus he was blessed by them with fulfillment of his desires. Although a kṣatriya by birth, he never ate flesh in his life. He was especially hospitable to Vasiṣṭha Muni, and by his blessings only he attained the higher planetary residence. He is one of those pious kings whose names are remembered in the morning and evening. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.12.24)'''}}

I want only to stay among all the living entities and suffer all distresses on their behalf, so that they may be freed from suffering. Vāsudeva Datta made a similar statement to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, requesting the Lord to liberate all living entities in His presence. '''(Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 9.21.12)'''}}
