Namadeva Charitam II Vol III Book VIII Chp 5 Shlokas 14 - 17
तदा कक्ष्चित्सारमेयस्तत्रागत्य यदृच्छया |
रोटीभाजनमादाय दधावैव सासंभ्रमम् ||
तं दृष्ट्वा नामदेवोपि सर्वत्र समदर्शनः |
घृतमादाय कृपया तमेवानुदधाव सः ||
अलर्कक्ष्च तदा भीतो नामदेवं विलोक्य तम् |
चकार भषणं क्रुद्धो भीषयन् वैष्णावोत्तमम् ||
नामदेवस्तु तं क्ष्वानं पाण्डुरङ्गात्मकं स्मरन् |
आलिङ्ग्य सान्त्वयामास घृतञ्च प्रददौ महान् ||
Unexpectedly, there came a dog. It caught hold of the vessel of ‘roti’ and ran fast. Namadeva who realized the presence of Lord Panduranga everywhere saw this and with great humanitarian love, he followed the dog with the cup of ghee in his hand. The dog got frightened at the sight of Namadeva coming after him and barked in a terrifying manner. Namadeva considered that dog to be Lord Panduranga. He embraced the dog, made him calm and gave him the ghee.
