Big waves came rushing to the shore and wiped away some more footprints… Suddenly Rukmini discovered a familiar footprint and sat beside it… Her eyes brimmed over with tears….

Rukmini’s streaming tears were making an offering in the water-filled footprints. Daruk arrived and stood beside her…. He looked startled.

What was further surprising was that not a single tear had dropped out of the carved footprint…. It was not just Krishna… even his footprints were accepting of everyone….
