However, he never hesitated in doing charity. He was a great worshiper of Lord Vishnu.

He had a deep passion for the devotion of Lord Vishnu. He had five sons, they were Sumana, Dyutiman, Medhavi, Sukrit and Dhrishta Buddhi. Dhrishta Buddhi was the fifth one. He was always involved in committing big sins, he used to commit even the lowest acts.

No matter how much you tried to extinguish it, that didn't matter to him. He had great faith in vices like gambling, drinking alcohol, teasing women etc. She was eager to meet prostitutes and wasted her father's savings on the path of injustice.

One day, his father got fed up and threw him out of the house and he started wandering from door to door. Wandering like this, distraught with hunger and thirst, he went to the forest and reached the ashram of Maharishi Kaundinya, suffering from the burden of grief, he folded his both hands and said, Oh my Guru Maharaj!, Oh Munishwar! I am a very big sinner, from the childhood till today I was always engaged in sinful activities. I thought this was life. But now I opened my eyes and understand, whatever I did was wrong. Please kindly tell me the solution to liberate me from the influence of lack of virtue.

Sage Kaundinya said, Oh young man, I am telling you the best remedy by which you can come out from your problems.
