Prabhuji reached Patna. Shyam Narain, a leading lawyer of Patna heard of Prabhuji’s ever increasing fame and also the wonderful supernatural events of His life and hence became an ardent disciple of Prabhuji. With all out humility and devotion, he brought Prabhuji to his own mansion. Within a few days, he attained a good state of meditation. He was so much absorbed in Prabhuji’s service that he stopped going to the courts to plead his cases. It was during these days that a great judge named Harihar Rai, was trying a criminal case in which a Brahmin boy had been falsely implicated on the charge of murder. The case came up for trial but advocate Shyam Narain would not attend the court to argue it. The case had been fabricated in such a planned manner that the accused was proved guilty of the charge and the judge had made up his mind to execute the boy and a date for final judgement had since been fixed up.
The only hope left for the brahmin to save his son was to persuade advocate Shyam Narain to plead the case on the appointed date. He reached the advocate’s residence to request him for the purpose but came to know from his munshi, the clerk, that Shyam Narain would not attend the court even if huge sums of money were offered to him as he was deeply absorbed in the service of his sadgurudeva. On being told that the pleader would attend the court only at the behest of Prabhuji, he somehow, approached Him and apprising Him of utter falsity of the case, begged of Him to persuade the lawyer to attend the court and argue his case. Prabhuji commanded Shyam Narain to attend the court. The lawyer thought that his attendance in the court would be deprive him of the holy darshan and also the opportunity of serve to Him. The omniscient Prabhuji, reading the mind of the lawyer, stated that he would also accompany him to the court. Then, out of reverence, the lawyer consented to plead the case on the final hearing and the brahmin gladly left for his home.
Prabhuji, alongwith advocate Shyam Narain, reached the court. Having learnt that Shyam Narain’s Sadgurudeva had come to the court, the judge respectfully provided a special seat for Him. As the proceedings were about to commence the priest of the judge hurriedly came to hand over a letter to him and while passing by, he incidentally, touched Prabhuji who forbade the priest to touch Him. The judge was taken aback. After taking the letter, he humbly enquired why a great accomplished soul like Him. Prabhuji said,”Let the case be conducted first.” But the judge stated that he was unable to concentrate on the trial unless his doubt was cleared. Prabhuji replied that the purohit had received gifts during the eclipse. According to the injunctions laid down in the Shastras the recipient was not fully competent, he was bound to be overtaken be leprosy. Because of his expiratory acts, the leprosy had, no doubt, very much subsided but its traces still remained with him. A leper, according to the Shastras, was untouchable. The purohit confessed all this which astonished the judge very much. Thereafter, the trial was proceeded. Shyam Narain presented his solid arguments where by he proved that the brahmin boy was not at all guilty. The judge came to the conclusion that the accused was quite innocent and he acquitted him of the charge of murder. Afterwards Prabhuji returned to His place alongwith Shyam Narin. The conscience of the judge had virtually been churned. He was, by this time more than clear in himself that he would have ordered the capital punishment against the brahmin boy but for the able arguments put forth by Shyam Narain. He realised from the core of his heart that in the absence of such an able advocacy, many innocent people might have been punished by him for absolutely no fault of theirs. He decided to give up his profession as a judge. He became so such disillusioned with his profession, rather the world that he resigned his post and straigtaway reached Prabhuji’s feet and requested that he be kindly accepted as a disciple and allowed to remain in His sacred company for ever. In the meantime, the wife of the judge, with her two tender children, also reached Prabhuji and prayed, “Maharaj ! I have heard that my husband has come to you for becoming a sadhu; kindly consider our pitiable condition and do not admit him as a sadhu”. Prabhuji replied that her husband accepted as a disciple only when he pledges not to leave his family, otherwise not. The lady expressed her gratitude to Prabhuji and left for her home. Prabhuji advised Harihar Rai not to renounce his family but this was not acceptable to him. Hence, Prabhuji did not initiate him. Under a spell of renunciation, he left for an unknown direction. His wife and other relations intensively searched for him but it was all in vain.
