53. Fifty-Third Sign

Is that Bishambar Das, a brother of the aforesaid Sharampat, was sentenced in a criminal case to a prison term of perhaps a year and a half. Being in a state of dire distress during that time, Sharampat requested me for prayer. Therefore, I prayed for him and, thereafter, I saw in a dream that I had gone to the office where the registers containing the names of the prisoners were kept and in those registers the term of imprisonment of each prisoner was recorded. At this, I opened the register in which the duration of Bishambar Das’s term of imprisonment was inscribed and, with my own hand, I reduced his term of imprisonment to half of its length.

When an appeal was made to the Chief Court regarding his imprisonment, it was shown to me that the end of the case would be that the file of the case would come back to the District [Court] and the term of Bishambar Das’s imprisonment would be reduced by half but he would not be acquitted. I had communicated all these details to his brother Lalah Sharampat before the end of case became known. The entire matter unfolded exactly as I had foretold.
