Crossing the River Summary in English<\/h3>\n

Moti, a poor milkmaid used to supply milk to the household of a celebrated Pundit. Usually, she would cross the river with the help of a ferry boat. When the Pundit wanted milk for a certain ritual, he needed milk before dawn. Since the boatman could not come that early, Moti was puzzled. Jocularly, the Pundit told her that she could cross even the ocean by uttering the name of Lord Vishnu. Moti believed it and also crossed the river on foot without a boat. The Pundit looked at her with surprise.<\/p>\n
