Pudraprun Pita etc. But the emergence of Kripabar had to wait for some time. But uniortunately he failed to quality as a lawyer since Caicutia University raised the minimum eligible pass marks from that year. He protested this injustice and sought the help of law, but to no avail.

An opportunity presented itself even as Lakshminath was looking for alternative means. A chance meeting with Bholanath Borooah, a trying his luck at Calcutta, proved to be a turning point in Lakshminath's life and career.

This period of hardship continued till he sold off the business in 1916 and left for Sambalpur in Crissa.
