There was a brahmana named Krishna Sharma in a place near Pandharipuram. He was a very rich yet stingy man. He was lustful and had a very hot temperament. He was so miserly that he would starve the next day if he had a dream of gifting food to others this day. His wife was named Sakkubai (Sakhidevi). She was having a very good conduct. She was generous, philanthropic and compassionate. From her childhood she had developed deep premature Bhakti towards Lord Vitthala. She was always engaged in serving Shri Krishna. Sometimes she would engage in meditating upon Shri Govinda, sometimes she would sing in praise of Him. At times she would dance, laugh, cry or feel happy incessantly thinking about Him.
