In plain words
So he must be sent outside,” he thought. Satyam himself was there to be seen. Wondering whether this was a wonder or his own delusion, he set his wife to keep watch over Satyam, who was staying by the luggage.
Meanwhile Rama Raju looked at that boy. Before his eyes appeared a divine halo of light round the boy's head, as if a lamp were shining. But he told no one. Seshama Raju, in fact, had great doubts about all these things from the beginning. Rama Raju and his wife said between themselves that this matter must not be told to Seshama Raju at all. After the holidays Rama Raju resolved to have clothes stitched for this boy. He brought a pair of shorts and a shirt. I did not accept them. Saying I did not want any of these, I tied them all in that bundle and left them inside their house. In those days all children loved a collar pin. For the children of the rich they would have clothes stitched and put a gold collar pin on them. Because I had not taken the clothes, this Rama Raju put a gold collar pin on my shirt as I was coming to Uravakonda. I was then completing ten years of age. That day I came home, took my books and was going to school. All of a sudden the collar pin slipped and fell. At once I threw the books away right there and came home:
I am Sai: know this for certain; give up attachment, leave off your efforts; your bond with me is now gone; none, however great, can hold me any more:
so I spoke a padyam. Seshama Raju was a poet. He mocked, “Someone has made him say it; can such a face as his come up with this much poetry!” Seshama Raju's wife said, “You must not go anywhere without going home.” There was a man called Hanumantha Rao, an excise commissioner, who had great affection for this body. His children too had great affection for Swami. Learning that he had not gone to school like this, he came in his car, seated him in it, took him to his own house and questioned him again and again, pressing hard. “Bābū! Why has this vairāgya come over you? Did your sister-in-law or your brother, or anyone at home, scold you? What is the reason?” he asked. There too he spoke in verse.
the bond with the world fell away as the pin; the darśan of God too was fulfilled at Hampi.
The bond with the world is like a small pin. So I removed that pin. Saying, ‘Māyā has fallen away, so he set out to leave the home,’ I was setting off, saying, “I will not stay at home any more,” when that excise commissioner took me home in his car. There too I went into no one's house. I did not enter even Hanumantha Rao's house. In front of their house there was a rock (a boulder). I sat on that boulder. Sitting on it, I remained silent, speaking to no one. “What is this? Such a change has come over this boy,” everyone said, wondering. In the evening Seshama Raju came home from school. On his way home he tried very hard to take his younger brother along with him. I said firmly, “I won't come, I won't come.” Then Hanumantha Rao, to Seshama Raju: “My boy! For now do not trouble the boy in any way; let him stay here; once he calms down I myself will bring him,” he said. From that day I did not leave that boulder.
