He stayed in Shivagiri under the care of Guru for three months. During this period Sree Narayana Guru himself treated him, and also by other physicians. But his health turned from bad to worse. Everybody concluded that Papu's death is imminent and he may die at any moment. Hence his relatives shifted him to his house. At this stage V.Krishnan felt that the Guru should not have accepted the donation fom that poor man. Thereafter, one day, Sree Narayana Guru visited Papu's house without being seen by anybody. enquired about his welfare and health and offered him a banana plucked from the bunch kept in a side room and asked him to eat it.
