If one has served the great Sadhu for even one year, he takes care of him. Just as when Āruni and Upmanyu fell in the well, their guru searched for them (and rescued them).1 Footnotes: 1. 1. Aruni was a disciple of Dhaumya rishi. Aruni lay down all night in the farm using his body as a barrier to block a breach in the barrier and prevent the rainwater from flooding the area. His guru came searching for him. Upmanyu was another disciple of Dhaumya rishi. He was sent to graze the cows and forbidden to consume milk, ghee, etc. Once, when he was very hungry, he ate the leaves of an ākado plant. The white milk of the plant fell in his eyes and he became blind. He then fell into an empty well, where the guru later found him. After rescuing him he restored his eyesight.
