One evening Shri Maharaj went to Ganpatrao Joshi's home accompanied by Cholappa and Govindrao Tol. At night Cholappa laid out His bed and asked Govindrao to keep watch so that Maharaj did not go anywhere during the night. Cholappa then went home.
It seemed as if Maharaj had fallen into a deep sleep and had started snoring loudly. On seeing this, Govindrao thought to himself that even though Maharaj was a great Yogi, he still snored like a common man. Govindrao then thought of the sixty-ninth shloka from the second adhayay of the Shrimad Bhagavata Gita.
या निशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी।
Meaning: That which is night to all beings, in that the self-controlled man keeps awake; where all beings are awake, that is the night for the Sage (MUNI) who sees.
Maharaj, in his deep sleep, said, "Kyon, Sonar, Nahi Nahi!", and then fell into deep sleep again. On hearing these words, Tol's doubts were removed. Maharaj used to refer to him as 'Sonar'.
