In a few days Dhanadeva regained his past wealth and grandeur and some more. One day he came to know that Acharyashri has come to Pataliputra. He sat in a chariot and came to the city. Going to the upashraya" he paid homage to Acharyashri

Gurudeva! In my absence you honoured my house with your visit. I feel blessed.

Oh
Dhanadeval! You!
Yes Gurudeva ! All this grandeur is due to your blessings. Your gaze changed my fate. I am at your command.
This way Arya Sthulabhadra promoted religion for 35 years as Acharya.
Lead a simple life.
With the inspiration of Acharyashri, Dhanadeva became a vow-observing shravak. He spent many days with Acharyashri before returning home.
Study and ponder over the scriptures
Bhadra! Only piety is the source of unending bliss.
