The ascetic looked at the child whose eyes beamed with devotion. The ascetic waited. Sangam stepped ahead
Sangam was so hungry he now licked the Kheer stuck to his plate
Oh! How tasty is the Kheer!

Revered one! Here, please accept my Kheer
The ascetic placed his bowl on the floor. With joy Sangam poured all the Kheer in that bowl.
The ascetic took the Kheer filled bowl and returned to the jungle where he broke his month long fast.
His mother returned after collecting water. She thought
Sangam has eaten all the Kheer in the plate. He is still hungry and is licking the plate. Is my son so hungry every day? Oh God! How unfortunate I am that I cannot even feed my only son.
