After going from there reached Kathgodam. On reaching there he camped at Simal Chaupal Gadar Godam. After that he reached Silang Chauradi in the morning. He rode on his horse and started to get ready to move ahead. Saim Ji got on his way riding on the horse. Then the ring dalls out of Saim ji's hand. Then he reached Rani Bagh on his way. Then on his way Saim ji came to Bhimal. Saim ji got up going from there reached Hadiya Vinaik. Saim ji then from Chanfi Ghigrani rode on the horse, Saim ji then moved ahead from there. In Lahak (blaze) that Bayali Saim ji then moved forward and sat down. He saw that his sister is also ready. Saim ji after comvincing her went for the climb of Baine. While climbing it got night and he thought in his mind that now what to do and he called loudly.
All night Saim Ji called out Dhuri of Devi Dhura, Sami called out. Upon the top a leper is sleeping. He was neither hands nor feet. One who is calling, who are you? I do not have hands and feet. Why are you calling out? I cannot be anyone's body as I have no hands or feet. Why do you call out? Bayali Saim ji says that the way is broken. Bring hammer and instruments for paving so as to make the way proper. Saim ji is saying – in Dhan Pokhari village he held a pickaxe and asked to bring a spade and attack. Saim ji got happy and he rid all the patients of their disease. Saim ji made that leper also all right. Now Saim ji started bestoving his best wished and everyone. Saim ji destroyed the illness of those who were ill and cured the disease of those who were suffering form disease. In your service now Saim ji moved forward.
The Devtas while moving reached Chaukhuti Aagar. On moving forward from there reached the village of Sauriyal in Motiyakhal Gangolihat. Saim ji started saying that I will go to Jhar Jhan Kar Dhura. You also come ther. Saim ji is telling to Moti Sarasonn that when you come, come along with rhw flying and waving marks beating of drums, nagaras along with all men, children in line (jaturi). Saim ji now reached Jharjhankar Dhuri. Then Saim ji came to Nijar Patl (clod place). There he canished to the third Patland took Samadhi. At Jharjhankar Dhuri all people went back with their flying mark (nishan). Saim ji when took their Samadhi(sit in deep meditation) in third Patl then from the same time Niravali Jaint's life became miserable and full of big difficulties. Her mother-in-law was very bad(Khanyari) and her sister-in-law was a Ghatori (one who complains). She was in great trouble at her in-laws place.
In Jhar Jhankar Dhuri Saim ji took a Samadhi for six months, at Nijhar Patl. The mother-in-law of Niraval Jaint was very bad in her behaviour that's why she was very unhappy. And she remembered god (Saim ji) that Niravali Jaint. The grass cutting women Baar Bisi sat down at Jhar Jhara Dhuri. Niravali Jaint is all alone, she is very unhappy. She has been given twelve years old time of Bhangire. She does not even have a sickle for cutting grass, not even have a rope. The twelve Bisi women will bring grass., now what should I do, fly away to heaven or bury myself in the earth (patal). Niravali Jaints of the Kedari Raja is saying. She is saying to Guru Gorikhinath Saim ji that you do listen to my voice. Now her mind got very disturbed. She got up from the stone on which the sickle is sharpened. And while walking sat down in the shade of the Koyan tree and started digging the earth with her broken sickle. Under the same earth Saim ji was hiding ans sitting in his Samadhi )deep meditation) and his head got hurt by the sickle. You go to Andholi village and bring butter from the man named Nathuva, Niravali Jainta and apply a layer of it on my head so that I may get all right. In Lahak (blaze) kept the butter on the head of the Devta Bayali Saim ji appeared there.
The milk came out from the cedar tree, cold water came out of the Boj tree, there also stood a Brush tree. And she called out from that field –Niravali Jainta said that Saim ji please help me and also excuse me and then she immediately brought the butter. And started applying it in Saim ji's head. Bayali Saim ji excused Niravali Jainta. Saim ji made the twelve Bisi mice to cut the grass. Saim ji tied the grass into bundles with the young snakes as ropes. Now he cured her sadness. When she went to husk then she was not given the husking rod. The Bar Bisi birds husked the paddy with their beaks. And her Khanyari mother-in-law got suspicious that whether the grains are less or not, she started to count the grains of rice. Saim ji made the twelve Bisi mice to cut the grass. In Lahak (blaze), now Saim ji called the twelve Bisi birds. In the beak of the old bird a grain of rice was found put. Then Saim ji felt kind and he planned a way out and called to assembly. Tied the grass bundles with young snakes as ropes. And Saim ji heard her voice full of sadness. In this jungle Saim ji met a huge snake, tied a big bundle of grass with that big snake as a rope. God fulfilled all her wishes. Now she started dancing without any festival. Saim Sakali felt very happy. Now it was the time of the evening. Niravali Jainta went to the cowshed of cows and their young ones to put grass for them. It was evening and she was very afraid. She saw that her mother-i-law was putting the stacks of grass upsode down, Niravali Jianta was very terrified. She is thinking that with young small snakes I have tied small bundles and with big snakes I have tied the stacks of bundles. Now her sister-in-law came in. what kind of grass has she brought? she tells her mother that there are so if this thorns. Her sister-in-law is saying. Her Sister-in-law is Ghatori (one who always complains) and her mother-in-law is Khanyari (very wicked). She says that now how will my day pass. Now her wicked mother-in-law come out and she started looking at the stack of grass. The small snakes sting her mother-in-law.
Now the life of Niravali Jainta become very happy and pleasant. And she started offering Paranama (offer prayer) to Bayali Saim. In Jhar Jhankar Dhuri he had his Avtar (incarnation) Niravali Jainta raised jai-jaikar (hailed) Saim ji. Now all people become very happy. They started (hailing ) jia-jaikar of the Guru of Chaumat Saim ji. Now in Chokutiyaager they came to know that Moti Sarasann and the Gangoli Soriyalas also came to that Saim ji has been appeared. They collected many goats abd the flying sing and started preparing driums s nagaras and the people started going in the form of very fierce fair. Walking step by step they reached Jhar Jhankar Dhuri. By reaching in this Jhar Jhankar Dhuri they performed prayers. Saim ji becomes very pleased by their prayer and blessed them.
