The wayfarer narrated the sad story of his lost horse and his subsequent search. Baba told him to look in the nearby grove. Lo! his horse was grazing. Having found his pet horse, the man returned to the place where Baba was resting. baba invited him to smoke the chilm. However there was no water to drench the piece of cloth that is wound around the smoke chilm. Also there was no fire in the visibility. The man was wondering, how Baba is going to get water and fire. Baba hit the ground with his satka. Water oozed from the place. After drenching the cloth, he again thrust his satka on the ground. A glowing charcoal came to the surface.Thus the hooka was lit and they both smoked the hookah. Finding that the Fakir, possessing extra ordinary power, the wayfarer invited him to his house at Dhup. Baba accompanied the gentleman from Dhup and stayed in his house for few days. The gentleman was the head man of the Dhup village. His relative was engaged with a girl from Shirdi.
