thereafter went to the forest to collect fire wood and dry leaves. By selling them, they
earned a frugal meal. The couple led a pious life. Namdev, the great saint, also lived at Pandharpur at that time. One day Namdev’s daughter picked up a quarrel with Raka’s daughter at the river-bed. She said: "Your father is a hoax. He wants to show off. He has no true love of God." Raka’s daughter retorted: "What you say of my father is false. It is your father who goes about bragging."
