He, with great joy, he went out and he tried that actually, touching the stone, iron is becoming gold. But he thought that "Lord Śiva directed that Sanātana Gosvāmī has the greatest benediction. I do not think this stone is greatest benediction, because it was placed with garbage." So he came back and appealed to Sanātana Gosvāmī that "Lord Śiva told me you have got something most valuable. I don't think this stone is most valuable. Otherwise, why would you keep it with the garbage? You must have something more valuable. So you must give me that, because Lord Śiva directed me to receive from you.".

One poor Brahmin he worshiped Lord Śiva very seriously and Lord Śiva asked him "what do you want?"

He said: "Sir I'm very poor man so give me some wealth so that I maybe peaceful throughout my whole life." Then Lord Śiva directed him . . . that, "You go to Vrindāvan. There is one great devotee, Sanātana Gosvāmī. He can give you that." So he went to Vrindāvan and met Sanātana Gosvāmī and told him. "That I have come to you, under the direction of Lord Śiva. I worshiped Lord Śiva very successfully, and I prayed from him some sources of my happiness. So he has directed me to see you, that you have got that thing. So please give me that."

So Sanātana Gosvāmī said: "Well, what can I give you? Oh, all right. Can you find out some stone in that garbage?" There was heaps of garbage, and the man searched out and found out a stone. "Sir, do you mean to say this stone?" "Yes." "So what is this?" "This is touchstone. You take it and touch to iron, it will become gold." "Oh, you are very good. You're so . . . now I shall become the richest man in the world. I shall take heaps of iron and touch with this stone, and it becomes gold."

So he, with great joy, he went out and he tried that actually, touching the stone, iron is becoming gold. But he thought that "Lord Śiva directed that Sanātana Gosvāmī has the greatest benediction. I do not think this stone is greatest benediction, because it was placed with garbage." So he came back and appealed to Sanātana Gosvāmī that "Lord Śiva told me you have got something most valuable. I don't think this stone is most valuable. Otherwise, why would you keep it with the garbage? You must have something more valuable. So you must give me that, because Lord Śiva directed me to receive from you."

Then Sanātana Gosvāmī told him, "Would you like to take that?" "Yes, sir. I have come for that purpose." So he asked him, "First of all, throw away the stone in the Yamunā River." So he threw away the stone. "Sit down and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa."
