The one who was born to a brahmin Śrīdeva Miśrā; soon after the birth uttered the Truth that ‘everything is Ātman’ due to the samskāras of the previous birth; the Buddhists and Jains unable to counter the doctrine threw him in the river Sindhu, who saved his life by placing him lovingly on the lotus petals. Being carried by her (river Sindhu) He (Sadāśivabāla) was given to a brahmin endowed with austerities saying “pleased by your austerities/penance today this boy/child is given”; then being asked/enquired by Bhūrivasu of Pushpapura and initiated by him—the saviour—father, He held high the school of nondualism. Preceptor Śrī Sadāśivabāla having served with reverence Śrī Ujjvala Śaṅkarācārya, got initiation, adhering to the principles of asceticism well carried out voyage in palanquin.
