Importance of love (priti)

Subhadrā was Bhagawān Shrīkrushṇa's younger sister. Although Bhagawān Shrīkrushṇa loved her, Draupadi, who was His step-sister, was His favourite. One day, Subhadrā asked Bhagawān Shrīkrushṇa, "I am your real sister while Draupadi is your step-sister, then why do you love her more than me?" Bhagawān Shrīkrushṇa smiled and said, "You will soon know the answer".

A few days later, Bhagawān Shrīkrushṇa cut His finger and it started bleeding. He rushed to Subhadrā and asked her to wrap a piece of cloth around His finger to stop the bleeding. Subhadrā rushed to her wardrobe and started looking for an inexpensive garment to tear, for bandaging the wound. Meanwhile, Draupadi happened to visit Subhadrā. When she saw Bhagawān Shrīkrushṇa's bleeding finger, she instantly tore off a piece of the expensive silk garment that she was wearing and wrapped it around His finger. Soon the bleeding stopped.

Upon witnessing the behaviour of Draupadi, who sacrificed her rich garment without blinking, Subhadrā realized what pure love and devotion is. She felt ashamed that she loved her rich clothes more than she loved God and had received the answer to her question.
