Near the Cuttack town, on its outskirts, the Guru liked a place on the bank of the river Mahanadi. It was a delightful site and he stayed there. The king of Cuttack was a pious Hindu. When, he heard the praise of the Guru, he came to have a glimpse of him. He got attracted to the Guru and became a Guru disciple. Prior to this, the king was a disciple of a saint named Chaitanya Bharti. He worshipped god Bhairon.
Chaitanya Bharti did not like that the king, who was earlier his disciple, now should become a disciple of the Guru. He became vindictive and by his supernatural powers, he tried to harm the people of the town.
But he failed in that and finally came and fell at the Guru's feet. The Guru put Chaitanya Bharti on the true path of 'recitation of the Lord's name with love' and took him out of mistaken beliefs and supernatural powers.
Chaitanya Bharti brought a branch of a Sahara tree as a gift for the Guru. The Guru brushed his teeth with that branch of Sahara tree. Chaitanya planted that branch there. It sprouted and became a very big tree that still stands. A Gurdwara was constructed there.
