Shuka Bhramam speaks “ Oh! Rajan,  Akroora arrived in Vrindavan, while traveling  the cart rolling on the sands of Vraja, he enthusiastically looked for the footprints of Krishna on the sand bed believed that prostrating on the sand bed where Krishna’s footprints visible would remove his impurities and sins.  Akroora began his search for the symbolic mark of the footprint of Krishna all over the sands in Vrindavan, suddenly those symbolic marks on the foot of Krishna became visible, Akroora in a state of ecstasy left the bullock cart and rushed to the footprints of Krishna, he could not control his emotions, tears overflowing, he rolled on the sand bed and carried handful sands and poured on his head.  All of a sudden, his eyes were fallen on Rama and Krishna who were watching the milking of cows, two handsome youths in their teens keeping hands on the waist, they have beautiful appearances, attired in blue and yellow silk garments respectively, adorned in various ornaments and feathers of the peacock on the top of the head, Rama has a fair complexion, Krishna has a dark complexion and a good physique.  Akroora understood that these two children are not ordinary cowherds, he is Adhyapurusha who resides as a soul in living beings, he has incarnated for the welfare of souls.  Akroora rushed to Rama and Krishna and prostrate before them, Akroora realized all his worldly attachments and bondage has removed instantly, he shed tears of bliss.  Krishna took hold of Akroora and embraced him with extreme happiness, Balaram received him affectionately and led to home, Krishna washed his feet, and received with great respect, offered him a seat, and a sumptuous meal was served to Akroora.  Once, the betel leaves with nuts and various fragrances were offered after the meal, Nandababa began to speak to Akroora who was seated in a comfortable place.  Rama and Krishna took seats on both the sides of Akroora.”
