One day King Vikramaditya was sleeping in his bed room and he heard crying of a woman in his kingdom. King came out of his room and rode on his horse and went in direction of a the voice. He saw that there was a woman sitting underneath a tree with her head kept on her knees and she was weeping. King asked reason for her pain. The lady told that her husband is stuck on the tree above and she want to give him food. King helped her to climb the tree .She was actually a witch who was pretending this show and as soon as she climbed the tree she ate the man stuck on the tree and came down.The lady then said that I am happy with you and what do you wish to ask you may ask. King said that if you really wish to give me something then give me Annapurna patra which can fetch unlimited food and from which he can feed his subjects. The lady gave him that Annapurna patra. King happily started returning to his kingdom with that Annapurna patra and on the way he met a sanyasi who was hungry and requested king to give him food and King used the annapurna patra to satisfy the sanyasi with delicious food items. Sanyasi gave lot of blessings to King and King said that it is my duty to give you some dakshina after your eat the food. Sanyasi told the king that if you really want to give me dakshina then give me this patra so that I never have to depend on anyone to ask for food. King unhesitatingly gave away the patra to the sanyasi and happily returned to his kingdom.
B.G. 5.3 . One who neither hates nor desires the fruits of his activities is known to be always renounced. Such a person, free from all dualities, easily overcomes all material bondage and is completely liberated, O mighty-armed Arjuna.
