Billion

In his teens, he had received the title 'Siddhanta Saraswati'. He also took a vow of chanting 1 billion names of the Lord. For this, he chanted everyday 3 lakh names for upto 9 years and 4 months at Mayapur in a hut which he had built with his own hands. When it rained, he would sit with an umbrella and continue chanting. He chanted eating only once a day, that too plain rice without any salt.
