This way he washed all his sins by having a touch of Lords feet. Lord Rama appreciated his pure and innocent faith.Īfter washing their feet Kevat place his hands on earth and ask Lord to first step on his hand before stepping into the boat. That is why I am requesting to wash the feet and make it dust free before you step into the boat.
I sincerely cannot take care of any more members in my household. My boat is made of several pieces of wood and if the dust of your feet fell on my boat, I am afraid the boat would turn into several women corresponding to each piece of wood. Kevat continued:”Lord, I have heard that the dust from your feet embraced a stone in the forest and it became a woman. Lord Rama smiled looking at Sita devi and remained silent. So let me please wash the dust on your feet before you step into my boat.” “Lord, the limited income I have as a boatman is just enough to make both ends meet in life and I am afraid that I cannot afford any more boats. Then Kevat decided to explain his point to Lord Rama himself. Guha was a little angry at his stubbornness and was about to loose temper. Guha told him to wash His feet after seating Him in the boat.īut Kevat was adamant and told Guha that he would like to wash Lord’s feet before he got into the boat. Kevat asked Guha whether he could wash Lord’s feet before He stepped into the boat. He started and ended his days with prayers to Lord Rama and throughout the day he was well known for talking about the glories of Lord. Kevat brought the boat near Lord Rama, got down and did namaskaar with intense devotion to Lord Rama. One of his boatmen was unloading people on the opposite bank and Guha said to Kevat to bring the boat and take divine personalities on other side of mother Ganga. Guha had heard about the banishment of Lord Rama and came running to help Him. When Lord Sri Ramachandra reached the forest with Sita and Lakshmana they had to cross river Ganga.
