There the sage Dutt saw a maid-servant, who, being intoxicated, was rubbing the sandalwood.195.
That lady of good conduct was grinding sandalwood single-mindedly in her home
She had concentrated her mind and seeing her even the portrait was getting shy.196.
Dutt went that way alongwith the Sannyasis in order to meet her, but she did not raise her head and see whether some king or some pauper was going.197.
Seeing her impact, Dutt accepted her as the eighth Guru and said, “Blessed is this maid-servant, who is absorbed in love with that Lord.”198.
When such a love is observed with that Lord, then He is realized
He is not achieved without bringing humility in the mind and all the four Vedas tell this.199.
End of the description of the adoption of Maid-servant as the eighth Guru.
Now begins the description of the adoption of the Trader as the Ninth Guru.

Then taking his disciples alongwith him, Dutt, the Yogi with matted locks, moved further
When, passing through the forests, cities and mountains, they went forward, there they saw a trader coming.200.
His coffers were full of money and he was moving with a good deal of merchandise, he had many bags full of cloves and no one could enumerate them.201.
He desired for more wealth day and night and he had left his home for selling his articles
He had no other desire except his trade.202.
He had no fear of sunshine and shade and he was always musing of moving forward day and night
He had no concern for virtue and vice and he was only absorbed in the relish of trade.203.
Seeing him, Dutt, the devotee of the Lord, whose person was revered throughout the world, thought in his mind that in such manner the Lord be remembered, only then that Supreme Purusha i.e. the Lord can be realized.204.
End of the description of the adoption of he Trader as the Ninth Guru.
Now begins the description of the adoption of the Lady-Gardener as the Tenth Guru.
CHAUPAI
The sage forsaking all desires and observing great silence moved further in a state of apathy
He was a great knower of the Essence, a silence-observer and a lover of the Lord.205.
