Sri Thirumaldas, the washerman, further narrated at length the stories of Sri Bappanarya, his daughter Sumathi maharani and her husband Sri Applaraja sharma and how they were given indication about an avatar of Dattattreya as Sripada Srivallabha was to take place in their family to Shankar Bhat. The appearence of Kaalagni shamana Datta in Appalaraja sharma's meditation and informing him about his previous birth as Vishnu Datta and his present wife Sumathi as Suseela and their failure to seek a right boon from Dattatreya at that time now being materialized as birth of Sripada as their son is told in detail.
As Thirumaladas himself was once a resident of Peetikapuram and closely associated with all the villagers( because of his profession) he could narrate many incidents that highlighted Sripada srivallabha's greatness to Shankar Bhat. One such incident was about Sri Narasavadhani who was jealous of Bappanarya's fame and his repeated failures to defame him leading to his own degradation. By disrepecting Sripada in an assembly of sholars, who was then just a kid of one year old, Narasavadhani lost the grace of Bagalamukhi Devi and faced disgrace among the learened ones. To Asutosh, a scholar from Bengal, Sripada assured that he himself was the Bagalamukhi devi and gave him darshan of Bagalamukhi.
