One day the old woman went to jungle to collect pieces of wood for fire for the cooking purpose. In the midway, she became hungry and thirsty, so she collected a very little amount of wood and returned back. The master saw this and told the old woman, "Why have you collected so little amount of woods? Go again, and bring some more." The old woman left instantly, it was a sunny and a very hot noon, she struggled, suffered the great heat, collected few more wooden pieces and kept on walking. In the midway, a piece of wood fell down, she picked it up, while doing that, she heard the voice of God Mahaveer, She stopped there. All her pains of the thirst, hunger and tiredness vanished. She returned home happily hearing the God's sermons and preachings. The master questioned the old woman, the reason for her being late. The old woman told the truth to the master. As such, the master also came to know the God Mahaveer's Preachings. The master realized the virtues of the old woman and so he showed great respect to her. Thus, she became happy. This is how on hearing the sermons and preachings of the God [Parmeshwar), sorrows & pains get Vanished.

Earth is very large, but Parshuram had killed your father and plundered/robbed his province, so due to his fear we are staying in this cellar." And she further narrated the entire incident.

There, he first visited to Dãnshāla. He looked at the plate filled with cereals and pulses laid on the throne. With his glance towards the plate, those cereals / liquid food and pulses turned into a khir. (a sweet dish of rice and hot milk) Subhoom ate up all the khir. Hearing this news,
