• After some days - Bankatlala and Pitambara saw the same personality on a pavement near Mahadeo Mandir.
• The two humbly asked if he needed some thing and brought Besan - Bhakar (Common food in Vidharbha) as per his wish.
• After eating he gave his Tumba (a jug shaped water pot) to Pitambara and asked him to bring water for him from the near by nalah ( a rivulet) ; warned him that the Tumba should be straightway plunged into the nalah and not to fill the water in it by hand.
• Accordingly Pitambara put Tumba straight into water which was only of skindeep-depth. And to his great surprise Tumba deeped into that skin - deep - water completely and the water was clean. Ashtonished Pitambara told this to Bankatlala
• The same night Kirtana of Govindbuwa Takalikar was arranged in Mahadeo Mandir. Govindbuwa began his Nirupama on a shloka of Hansa - Geeta. As soon as Govindbuwa completed the first half of the shloka, the same personality who was sitting behind the audience chanted fluently the second half of the shloka.
• Bankatlala tried hard and brought the personality to his House. He was chanting Gan Gan Ganat Bote continuously, So he was given the name "Gajanan Maharaj".
