The teacher shyly said
Maharaj! Please don't bother. You have given me everything. I even owe my life to you.
JAGAT GURU SHRI HEER VIJAY SURI
Suriji looked agape at his teacher.
A shravika named Sangde Sanghavan was sitting there. When she came to know that the old Brahmin was the teacher of Suriji before he turned ascetic, she got up and presented her gold bangles to the teacher.
Pandit ji please accept this humble gift in the name of Gurudev!

The teacher explained-One day I was bitten by a snake. All efforts to cure me failed. And then came a shravak who chanted your name, sucked the venom, and with the spell of your name. I was cured at once and saved from a certain death.
Once when Suriji was in Patan# he saw a dream one night-He is perched on a giant elephant that is moving uphill, thousands of people are standing on the flanks and greeting him.
