One day when collecting alms, Sriguru reached a poor Brahmin’s house in Ganagapur. The Brahmin had already left to collect his daily alms from different homes. Therefore, his wife paid obeisance to Sriguru and offered him a seat. She said, “My husband has gone to the village to collect alms. He would return shortly. I will offer you alms after his return”. Sriguru said, “I am very hungry. If you do not have alms, then give me milk. I saw a buffalo in your courtyard”. Hearing this, she replied with tears in her eyes,“Respected sir, there is no milk in the house. This buffalo is unable to give milk. She is very old and is just like the other he-buffaloes; people hire her to carry earth load”. Then Sriguru said, “I do not agree that this buffalo is barren. Go and milk her”. Therefore, to respect the words of Sriguru, the Brahmin lady went near the buffalo with a pot and started milking her. And to her great surprise the barren buffalo started giving milk. She immediately warmed the milk and offered the same to Sriguru. Sriguru drank the warm milk and with satisfaction he said, “I am very satisfied with the contentedness between you and your husband. Even in poverty, you have maintained virtue and righteousness. Your poverty will come to an end from this moment and Goddess Laxmi^[1] will bestow her blessings on your family”. After blessing her, Sriguru went away.

When the Brahmin returned home, his wife narrated the whole story. She showed him the milk. Then both husband and wife came to the confluence and worshipped Sriguru with great devotion. They returned home singing praises in the honour of Sriguru.
