Oh! Lord! You are welcome. Please accept this feet-wash. I made you wait as I had to attend on my parents. Please excuse me for the delay. You have come with an amicable and good wife. May I know who you are? I think all my meritorious deeds have come to fruition now. You seem to be the Lord of all worlds and worshipped by the emperors too. I am after all a poor brahmana. What can I do for you?
