“ ‘King Bhagīratha always carried affection for Kṛṣṇa within his heart. Although King Bhagīratha was the crown jewel of kings, he was still wandering about and begging alms in the city of his enemies. He was even offering respects to caṇḍālas, low-class men who eat dogs.’

This is a quotation from the Padma Purāṇa.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
