A poor Brahmin lived in Amarapur. He was a great devotee of Lord Dattatreya. However, due to poverty it was extremely difficult for him to make ends meet. In Amarapur he maintained himself by collecting alms from people. A large amount of bean-pod creepers had grown in his courtyard. The days when he did not get any alms, his family would survive eating cooked bean-pods.

One day, Sriguru suddenly came and stood at the Brahmin’s doorstep. The Brahmin welcomed him with devotion. Unfortunately he had no food available in his home that day. So the Brahmin offered Sriguru cooked beans and prayed for forgiveness. Sriguru was fully satisfied with the Brahmins devotion and said, “Take for granted that from today onwards your poverty has disappeared”. After saying so, Sriguru left the house. The bean pod creeper had grown so thick in the courtyard that one had to bend his head to cross the courtyard. Sriguru destroyed that thickly grown creeper with his own hands. When the means of their livelihood was destroyed, the Brahmani75 and her children started crying loudly. They started reproaching Sriguru. However, the Brahmin was very sensible. He said, “One should be satisfied with whatever that is available. Sriguru is omniscient. There is certainly some reason for him to destroy the bean creepers.”

Then the Brahmin started getting rid of the broken creepers. He started digging to uproot the creepers. As he dug with his axe, there was a sound like striking metal. When the Brahmin used more force and dug up, he saw a big vessel lying at the root of the creeper. He found that the metallic vessel was filled with gold coins. The Brahmin’s poverty disappeared permanently. The whole family approached Sriguru. They prayed for forgiveness. Sriguru was pleased and said to them, “Be happy now. Goddess Laxmi (Goddess of wealth) has arrived in your house. But don’t talk about this incident with anyone, because I want to remain in this place with peace of mind”. Even today in Amarapur (Aurwad) one can find the family lineage of this Brahmin. There is now a temple built in place of the creepers in the courtyard.
