of it they came across with one Judge Rajkot's Judge. He also was a Jain. He was requested that "this child has also to go to Rajkot, whether he could carry him with?"
"With all pleasure" the Judge agreed and making the child comfortable to sit with him in the cart, he went on inquiring with him, on the way. To get acquainted, he conversed on some matters and then proceeded towards religious discussions. Judge Dharshibhai was able to dispel off the doubts of monks in those days. Judge already he was. He was the leader of Sthanakwasi Sect and was capable of providing solution of the questions even of the monks of Sthankwasi Society. Such a scholarly preson he was and was knower of Karma Philosophy in depth in those days. In course of discussions, he conversed further with Child Srimadji subtly and even raised some of his own doubts. Srimadji went on clarifying all of them! The judge was overwhelmed with joy and said, "Today is my fortunate day that I get acquaintance of a person like you, coincidentally! was in search of some such person, but today I am really fortunate"
And when Rajkot was nearly reached, Judge Dharshibahi invitingly told him that, "You stay at our place only" But child Srimadji courteously replied "Sir! I have come to my Maternal Relatives' place, hence! am bound to go ever there, but I shall certainly keep coming to your home."
In this way they were tied up with Chord of religious love.
Srimadji went to his maternal place. Maternal Uncle Mama Sahab was seated there. With humbleness he extended venerations; Namaskaras to him and everyone over there. All blessed him and asked, ""Along with whom you have reached?"
I have come with Sri Dharashibhai who is a Justice over here. He replied and was told, "Alright, have your food."
After completing bath etc, he sat down to dine. On the other side, both the Mama Sabs Maternal Uncles were talking amongst them that, "Now is good opportunity..." in this way they commenced such a topic in which the subject was of Shri Dharashibhai. Complicated Political Conspiracy was existing in which some cases were going on, in respect of which these two Mama Sabs had conspiratively planned and resolved to do away with Judge Dharashibhai Great Conspiracy was going on.
Child Srimadji everheard all these talks while dining. Both the Mama Sabs were seated in the adjoining Verandah and he was inside the home, but their voices were clearly heard. Moved by this, finishing his meals scatterdly, Srimadji somehow escaped out from there. Went over to Shri Dharashibhai's house and asked the Judge very seriously that, "Is there any relationship between you and our Mama Sabs?"
"No other practical relationship, but this political conspiracy is going on. Due to some incident, some differences and controversies are existing." Shri Dharashibhai replied.
"If it is so, then remain very careful and conscious. At some planned time, you are to be done away with (eliminated). Therefore be extremely aware ...." Child Srimadji warned him.
