He used to make fun of the paniharis who were going to fetch water from the wells at the border of the village. One day, one of the young women, fed up with the daily jokes, scolded Bilvamangal.
Yoganuyoga Bilvamangal was shocked by the reprimand and became blind himself by punching himself in the eye with two needles for the punishment of his bad deeds. But his intuition was opened and he became monotonous in devotion to Shri Krishna. The influence of the name Surdas was such that after that any blind person was also known as 'Surdas'. Nowadays, there are two humane words for a blind person, one is 'Pragnyachakshu' and the other is 'Surdas'.
