Then Lord Krishna, who purifies the whole world, personally offered him various tokens of respect and washed his feet, after which He sprinkled the water on His own head. He anointed him with divinely fragrant sandalwood, aguru and kunkuma pastes and happily worshiped him with aromatic incense and arrays of lamps. After finally offering Sudama betel nut and the gift of a cow, He welcomed him with pleasing words.
