Namdharak was rapturous listening to Guru Charitra. He said to Siddhamuni "Your narration is regenerating me; all the cobwebs of doubts infesting my mind are being cleared and swept off. New light is filling my mind. I had never in my life experienced such joy and peace. Please tell me more of the Guru Leelas. Siddhamuni started the following narrative.

There was a Brahmin suffering from severe leucoderma and leprosy. He made pilgrimage to Amba Tuljapur. He performed worship and Upasana there with steadyfast devotion for over three years and most of the days observing fasts. But his condition showed no improvement and he did not find any relief from his dread disease. He was feeing very desperate and wanted to end his life. Then one night Amba Devi appeared in his dream and asked him to go to the temple of Chandala Parameshwari and to offer worship to her. He went there and for seven months he was offering his prayers and worship and observing fasts. Goddess Parmeshwari also appeared in his dream like Amba Devi earlier, and She advised him to go to Gangapur and have Darshan of Sri Narasimha Saraswati, which would relieve him from his dreadful disease. The Brahmin got annoyed and said. "If you, the Goddess- Mother of the Universe, cannot cure me, who else will be able to do it?" I am being fooled by You. You have no consideration and compassion...I will not move from here". Like that he was raving in his dream.

The Brahmin brushed aside the dream advice given to him by the Goddess and continued to stay there only doing his Aradhana. The Goddess appeared again in dream again and this time said sternly, that unless he obeyed Her command his disease would get aggravated and he would become only worse and would have to repent greatly.

The Brahmin, in deference to the command of the Goddess, set out for Gangapur. After reaching there, he went to the Math. But Guru Nath was not at the Math at that time; he was at the Sangam. He waited at the Math and when Guru Nath returned to the Math he bowed down at Him and prayed that he should be relieved of his dreadful disease. Guru Nath said "What can I, a mere human, do when Goddess Parameshwari could not herself cure You?" Guru Nath just told him back what exactly the Brahmin expressed in skepticism and anger to Goddess Parameshwari when she first appeared in his dream and advised him to go to Gangapur and seek redress from Sri Narasimha Saraswati.

The Brahmin realised his folly and prayed to Guru Nath that he should be forgiven for his skeptical remarks made in ignorance. He poured out to him his woeful tale, how he was forsaken by his wife and by his parents even, because of his loathsome disease of his. He said that unless Guru Nath showed mercy on him and freed him from the disease, he would end his life.

Sri Guru Nath was moved by the desperation of the Brahmin. He asked a devotee of his to take the Brahmin to the Sangam. He told the Brahmin that he should bathe in Sangam and then worship the Aswatha Tree by taking three Pradakshinas around it. After that, he was to wear the new clothes which would be given to him. The Brahmin took the bath in the Sangam, worshipped the Aswatha Tree and after discarding his old clothes, put in the new ones given to him by Guru Nath. Lo! the disease disappeared mostly, except for a few white patches remaining were due to the skeptical feelings entertained by him originally.

The Brahmin was overcome by a surge of devotion for Guru Nath and sang many hymns in praise of Him. He said, "For him, who has passed through the ordeals of 84 lakhs of births, how at last, having been born as a man and much more than that, as a Brahmin, still he was steeped in ignorance alas! Always plunged neck deep in the waters of Sansara he never had peace. How torturous is birth! What turmoils one has to go through, all because of one's ignorance and lack of correct perspective of life and the ultimate realities. Only refuge at Guru Nath's feet will save us. Worship of His Feet alone will liberate us..." The Brahmin stayed on there composing many hymns on Guru Nath. Guru Nath used to call him "Kaveeswara". Slowly, with continued exposure to Guru Nath's Grace and love, he was totally rid of his disease; the few patches that remained earlier had also slowly disappeared completely. He became famous as Nandeeswara Kavi.

Thus ends the Forty Fifth Chapter of Sri Guru Charitra describing the "Dwija Kusht-haranan".

Glory to the All merciful, the Omnipresent and the ever-responsive Guru Nath!
