In plain words
I must have leave,” he requested. That headmaster was very fond of Me. ‘Not just to Bellary: you may take Sathyam anywhere at all. You need not ask me,’ he said, and sent us off, giving us his own car as well.
In the Virūpākṣa temple …
In Bellary the municipal chairman kept us at his house for three days. Then he took us to the Virūpākṣa temple, which is near there. When we got there, I insisted that I would not come inside. Then Seshama Raju and his wife: “We will go inside, have darśan of Virūpākṣa and come back. You stay right here by our luggage,” they said. They went into the temple. In the sanctum I appeared to them as though I Myself were standing there. Seshama Raju grew suspicious. “I told this fellow to sit outside, so why has he come in here?” he thought, and came out to look. I was sitting right outside! Again he went in and looked. There too I could be seen. Still his doubt was not cleared. To his wife: “You go out and stay with Sathyam. Do not let him move anywhere,” he said, and went in again himself. There I appeared once more, all smiles. The municipal chairman who had brought us saw this too with his own eyes. When they came out he took Seshama Raju's hands: “Seshama Raju! You are badly mistaken in thinking ‘Sathyam’ is your brother. ‘Sathyam’ is not your brother; he is no ordinary person. There is a great ‘divine power’ in him,” he said.
Declaration of the Avatāra
Well, from there we came back to Bellary, had our meal and set out for Uravakonda. The chairman wished to give Me some present. But I said I would accept nothing. He said he would have four pairs of shorts and four shirts stitched for Me. ‘Not four; I will not accept even one,’ I said.
