Although the Kazi was most envious and opposed to religious principles, he smiled on seeing Gadādhara’s simplicity. While smiling, he said, “By your request I will chant the name of Hari tomorrow. For now, you go home.” As a result, Gadādhara became especially happy to hear the name of Hari issue from the mouth of the Kazi.
