A horse carriage stopped in front of a large building. Narahari got down from that cart. That house is the house of Narahari's father Dinanath. He opened the big doors and entered Dinanath' s house.
Feet should be washed before entering the house. There was a basin in which there was water for washing, Narahari went there then a girl came and gave him a mug.
That girl is very beautiful. But Narahari washed his feet without saying anything and went into the house. Narahari's mother asked, "How are you there?? You come home once a year. If you come, you will go back within a week. Don't forget that there is a family waiting for you here". Nothing like that mom!! Mom,Who gave me water to wash my feet there?
