There is a unique incident involving Sri sujnAnanidhi tIrtharu. Once he went on a piligrimage to Tirupati. During the journey he stayed in Kapila tIrtha. While wandering in the forest he entered a cave. The cave was the abode of seven sages. The Sages were very much pleased by Sri sujnAnanidhi tIrtharu. They honoured him. Afterwards Sri sujnAnanidhi tIrtharu continued on his journey as though nothing had happened and did not tell about his darshaNa of the sages to his disciples. Sri sujnAnanidhi tIrtharu kept this encounter with the sages a secret until his last moments.
