The great sage was very much pleased with his stance and assured him of God’s protection. The disciple said that he aspired for nothing other than his master’s grace. He then drove all the hundred cows to a distant place. No green field was found anywhere. He then recalled the Vedic declaration, (I have visualised the Supreme Being who shines with the effulgence of a billion suns and who is beyond – the darkness of ignorance). He gathered self-confidence and said to himself, I am the embodiment of knowledge; I have no delusion or darkness in me. How can there be failure of my endeavour? Instantly, the entire area was turned into a verdant green field. The cows started grazing heartily. A few years passed in this way. The number of cows increased to thousands. As he was driving them back to ’s , many (cowherds) came there miraculously to help him. (That all-pervasive God is present within and without). He is the gopala (protector of cows and all beings). Lord appeared before him and said, “Dear one! You were prepared to sacrifice everything for the sake of Truth. Henceforth, your name shall be established as (truthful aspirant).”
