VIDYARANYA
The name of this spirit was Sringi.

The saint said, "I am a sanyasi; how can I provide enough food for you?"

Sringi said: "Sir, I shall take you to Sage Vyasa at Varanasi. You can learn from him all the sastras and the mystic lore. In return you can feed me. "

Vidyarany agreed and the two went to Varanasi.

On the way, Sringi pointed out Vyasa who was proceeding to Varanasi. Vyasa was disguised as a hunter leading four dogs.

The dogs were the four Vedas.

Vidyaranya made his obeisance to Vyasa and requested him to impart holy knowledge to him.

Vyasa took Vidyaranya to Badarikasrama and there taught him all the great truths. He also initiated him in Sri Vidya or the worship of the Mother Goddess.
