Verbatim excerpt from Narasimha Swami (1940s)

though apparently dead is really alive.” I was very uneasy in my mind at not getting a decently high position or higher grade (called selection grade) in my department. At that time, I got a dream. In the dream, I was talking with some one else on financial matters. Suddenly, some one appeared and told my companion “Why do you not grant him what he (i.e., myself) wants? Let him prepare Vanki (i.e.) upper armlets of ladies”. He dis appeared after my companion said to the 3rd person, “yes, that will be done.” That was the dream. This like other dreams and experi ences of mine, I communicated to Kaka Saheb. The 3rd person was obviously Baba. The reason why 3 armlets were to be prepared, while only pairs are worn, I did not first understand. But, Kaka Saheb ex plained it, saying that the 3rd person was Baba- a Datta Avatar hav ing 3 bodies in one. So 3 vankies were wanted. I accordingly got 3 silver vankies prepared and I placed them in my box of pooja, after making prana pratishta. The fourth day thereafter, I was given the selection grade. 265 I had doubts what spiritual reading I should go in for. Baba then appeared in my dream and said “Give me biksha of 53”.
