There was a yogi named Sharngadeva. As a result of repeated yogic practice, he had reached great heights of achivements. The yogi, short of wisdom, used to display many yogic feats and make people astounded. As a result, he was esteemed by the deceived ignorant people. With his yogic power, he remained youthful and lived for many thousand years. Hence he was very proudly roaming about the earth. Unexpectedly, once Sharngadeva heard of the glory of Gnanadeva. He was disturbed by his envy towards Gnanadeva.
