All the proofs from the scriptures have been collected in this "Sarsangrah" with all the paraphernatia of books including "Sarsangrah" he came to meet the King. The king went inside the cave where Chidrup was sitting, he told him about the advent of Gokuleshji. He also told him the purpose of his coming. Hearing this, chidrup told the king that matter. He hesitated to argue out this matter according to scriptures. He told the king to compel him to take out mala-Tilak by using his power and pelf. Looking to the dignity of Shri Gokuleshji the Emperor hesitated to make use to his authority. He was worried because his Hindu queen manbai threatened him by saying that she would commit suicide if any wrong had been done to their religious head. The emperor was puzzled by the promises given to that sanyasi. He was on the horns of dilemma. His position because precarious.

Then chidrup said they are Brahmin by caste and house-holder too and further asked him why he is not worshipping "Panchayatan" and why he is not putting Rudrakshmala ? There was no mention of Tulsimala at all in 48 rites and retuals. Gokuleshji refuting his statement gave many proofs and authorities from the scriptures like Skandpuran, Padmapuran, Prahladsanhita, Brahma Vaivartapuram, Garudpuran etc. He gave authoritive proofs about Tulsimala and Urdhva Pundra TIlak. He produced the proof to substantiate his arguments from the Shrutis of Veda also sanyasi argued about Shivpuran but Shri Gokuleshji shut his mouth by giving counter reply. Sanyasi had to stop his arguments and remain silent.
