2. The Story of a Poor Brahmin

There was a very poor Brahmin. He was living on alms. Lord Narayana appeared before
him in the form of an old Brahmin, asked him to observe the Satya Narayana Vrata and gave him
His word of assurance that he would be free from poverty, by observing this Vrata. The Brahmin
acted accordingly. All his desires were fulfilled.
