Evidential Story - 5 Carpenter Deval gaining wealth
A poor carpenter used to live in Subhadravati in the Konkan region. All of a sudden carpenter Deval became very wealthy. All wondered how a person in tatters with a family deprived of proper food ever could now construct a temple for Lord Adinath and a palatial house for himself.
His neighbours grew jealous of him. Where as some people who ignored him earlier started flattering him.
Some wise people asked him for the mantra which changed his destiny. Deval was a simple and innocent man. Politely he informed them that the simple game of gilli - danda changed his life. He said "While I was in my shop a small boy of 7 or 8 years came to the ground with a book. He was intently watching the game but could not play it, for he had nonstick. A kind boy gave his stick to this boy. But the stick soon broke and the little boy was very much saddened because felt much pain for having broken the other boy's stick. I called the boy to me and enquired about him. He was Somkranti the son of merchant sudhan. I enquired about the book he had. It was the holy Bhaktamar Stotra. I was very much fascinated by his innocence and made two sticks for him, one for himself and the other to be returned. The boy happily handed me the book and ran away to play. I started reading the fifth shloka. I felt so delighted, and I by hearted it with riddhi and mantra and read the method of its meditation by the time the boy returned with the book”.
With faith and devotion I chanted the shloka with riddhii and mantra in a cave. One night after many days Devi Ajita appeared to me and told me to ask for a boon. I asked for wealth. Spreading divine aura she asked me to dig the earth around a peepal tree on the north east direction and I obeyed. There I found a big treasure, lots of jewels. I promised to construct a grand temple for Lord Adinath with Bhaktamar stotra along with riddhi and mantra inscribed on its walls. After fulfilling my promise I made a house for my family". This impressed everyone and all became devotees of Bhaktamar Stotra.
