The man did not
heed what the Acharya said. One night he kept the Saligrama on top of the idol and went to
sleep. In the morning, when he opened the puja-box,
he saw the Saligrama broken topieces!
He came running to the Acharya and fell at his feet. He
prayed, "Please forgive me for not heeding your advice." He then told the
Acharya about the broken saligrama.
The Acharya said: "Wash the pieces with Gods
abhisheka water and put them together!"
The man did so, and the Saligrama became one whole piece
once again.
The Acharya spent his last days in Kashi.
One day he went to the Hanuman Ghat to bathe. |
