254 A costly statue of Bhramar in gold was placed in the midst of the temple, and at the foot of the statue this inscription was engraved—

Twelve years after the death of Bhramar a Sannyâsi came to the door of this temple. Sachi Kânta was there. The Sannyâsi asked, "May I see what is in this temple?"

Sachi Kânta, opening the door, displayed the golden figure. The Sannyâsi said, "This Bhramar was mine. I am Gobind Lâl Râi."

Overwhelmed with amazement, Sachi Kânta was, at first, unable to speak. Recovering a little he bent before the ascetic, taking dust from his feet, and then sought to take him into the house. But Gobind Lâl did not consent; he said, "This day completes my twelfth year of secret wandering life. Completing it I have come hither to give you my blessing. This now done I shall return."
