Swamini Vato Prakaran 5 Vaat 132 · 5 · Verse 132
Sanskrit Original
Yagnamā Swarūpānand Swāmīne Mahārāje kahyu je, “Māṇas ghaṇā thayā te āpaṇī lāj jāshe, sīdhu pahochashe nahi.” Tyāre kahyu je, “Brahmanī lāj jāy nahi, Lakṣhmīnī lāj jāshe.”
During the yagna, Maharaj said to Swarupanand Swami, “We will lose our reputation. There are many people here and there is not enough food to feed everyone.” Swami replied, “Brahman will not lose his reputation. Lakshmi will lose her reputation.”1 Footnotes: 1. 1. In Aso Samvat 1866, Maharaj performed a grand yagna in Dabhan. The brāhmins took control of the kitchen and wasted food to disgrace Maharaj out of spite. They were afraid that if Maharaj succeeds in the yagna and his fame spreads, then their sect will lose followers and support. This is the setting where Maharaj said to Swarupanand Swami, “We will lose our reputation.” And Swarupanand Swami replied, “Lakshmiji will lose her reputation.”
