The story of Udayana is an example of unwavering faith. Once, while Sudharma Indra was praising the virtue of right faith in his assembly, he mentioned the unwavering faith of King Udayana of Roraka in the Vatsa country. To test him, Vasavdeva, disguised as a mendicant with leprosy, stood before him, and using his magical powers, ate all the food and water offered to him, then vomited profusely, emitting a foul odor. The king's attendants fled in fear, and the king, seeing the vomit on his queen Prabhavati, blamed himself, saying, "Alas! I have given her the wrong food!" He tried to wash her, but then, revealing his true form, Vasavdeva told him the whole story, praised him, and ascended to heaven. King Udayana, meditating at the feet of Vardhamana Swami, attained liberation. Prabhavati, through her penance, became a deity in Brahma's heaven. This story is an example of unwavering faith.

The sage replied, "The praise of Sutrata Muni and the blessings of Queen Revati, the wife of King Varuna, should be conveyed. Even if asked three times, that is all that should be said." Then, in a small voice, he added, "It has not been said. The great sage Bhavya Sena, the holder of the eleven limbs, does not accept the names of others. There must be some reason for this." Thinking this, he went to Bhavya Sena's residence, conveyed the praise of Sutrata Muni, and witnessed the special affection he had for him. Then he went to Bhavya Sena's residence. When he arrived, Bhavya Sena did not speak to him, but took a pitcher and went outside with him. He showed him a path covered with green, tender shoots of grass, and said, "It is said that in the past...
