Considering himself to be unfit for Prabhu’s darshan, Mukunda Dutt stood aloof. Srivas Pundit said, “Prabhu! Mukunda Dutt is also your loved one! Should you not grace him too on this occasion? He is standing in a corner feeling unfit for your darshan!”

In a mildly angry tone Prabhu said, “I will not bless him! Why should I pour my mercy on one who calls himself a devotee and yet indulges in vain logic and arguments? He proclaims in the gathering of Pundits that the Leelas of Vaishnavites are mere tell tale stories! He thinks he is a great Pundit! How will god ever grace such a person with His Vision?”

Mukunda Dutt tearfully addressed Srivas Pundit, “Will I ever become fit for receiving the grace and mercy of the Lord?” Srivas put the same question to Prabhu for which Prabhu replied, “Oh Yes! Why not? May be after a crore births!” Hearing this Mukunda Dutt jumped with joy and said, “It is enough if it happens at some time or the other! I am happy that it will happen at some time! Be it after one crore births! What matters!” Saying so he danced in ecstasy. He said again, “Crore births will be over quickly! A long time indeed! But so what? In the end I will become the recipient of Lord’s mercy!” The other devotees were spellbound by the tremendous faith revealed by Mukunda Dutt’s words. Prabhu too was really moved! He pulled Mukunda Dutt towards Himself and gave him loving embrace and said, “ Mukunda! You have indeed bought me for a price by exhibiting such a firm faith! You are indeed a true Vaishnava. You have immersed me in an ocean of joy by showing such steadfast faith! Who but you is the best recipient of Lord’s mercy! Lo! Behold my radiant form!” Speaking thus, Prabhu showed Mukunda Dutt His Divine Form. Mukunda Dutt fainted on seeing it.

Later other devotees too had visions in the Divine form of MahaPrabhu according to their Bhava. Some saw the dark hued MuraliManohara, SitaRama, Radha-Krishna and other devas and female deities too and felt extreme joy.
