| When he came to the
seventy-ninth stanza of the prayer the Goddess took pity on him and instantaneously threw
her earring towards the sky. The earring of the Goddess glittered so much that it gave the semblance of the full moon to the people. The Goddess then woke up the priest and showed him that it was a full-moon day. Similarly King Sarabhoji felt and found it to be fullmoon day, even as the priest told him. At this miracle, King Sarabhoji returned and requested the priest to excuse him for the harsh words he had used against him without knowing his greatness. The King wanted to make a gift to the priest. But he would not accept anything from the King. But the King persuaded the priest to accept something for the sake of his children though he disregarded it for his own sake. The donation was in the form of a command from the King that one hundredth part of the King's revenue from all the villages should be earmarked for the benefit of the successors of the priest Abhiramabhattar. |
