He was always busy in activities of a grhastha - with service to parents, atithis, bhutas, teaching students and maintaining agni. Very devoted to his family he was immersed in his activities for the welfare of his parents, wife, children and students. Yet he nursed the prospect of travelling and seeing the forest filled lands and beautiful cities. He would greatly respect travellers who come from distant lands on pilgrimage and hear all details of their yatras with rapt attention.
