same Pushya Amavasya day, he completed one year of penance and took a holy bath in the
Hrittapanasini tank and observed his morning prayers. As he was fasting for one year
without food or drink, he collected on that day some paddy an d prepared prasadam out of
that. He divided it into three parts; the first part was offered to Lord Narayana. The second part was kept for offering as charity and the third for his
own consumption. At this juncture, Lord Narayana took the form of an old Brahmin and
came the way where Salihotran was waiting to offer the share to a guest. When Salihotran
saw the old Brahmin, he immediately requested him to grace his hermitage. He respectfully
offered to the Brahmin the prasadam meant for the guest. Quickly the Brahmin ate up the
offering and Salihotran felt from his facial appearance that he was not satisfied. |
