He was a great scholar of Madhwa shasthras and a great ascetic. During one of his pilgrimages he was at the banks of river Godavari. At that time, pleased with his devotion and austerities, the Ganges came in the form of a stone in his hands. People who were there observed this and then the King of that province honoured swamiji after learning about his greatness. Also, he gave a Gomed (Hessonite) box to keep the stone idol of Bhageerathi devi. All devotees in the area around the banks of Godavari insisted that such a great swami should stay in that place forever. Swamiji told them that since the Krishna pooja deeksha (Paryaya) was approaching fast he was unable to stay in that place for long. He came back to Udupi after being immensely honoured by the locals of that place. He made arrangements for daily pooja of Bhageerathi Devi along with Lord Narasimha. Even now, one could see the Gomed boxed Bhageerathi Devi getting worshipped with Lord Narasimha.
