After having the blessings of Lord Shiva, Shri Narharyanand Ji, the beloved disciple of Shri Anantanand (who lived in Ramshail), found this child and named him 'Rambola' (who chants the name of Shri Ram).

Whenever he listened to anything from his teacher (Shri Narharyanand Ji), that thing would get fixed in his mind. From there (Ayodhya), both of them went to Sookarshetra (Soron in Kasganj district of UP). There, Shri Narhari Ji narrated the character of Shri Ram to him.
A few days later, they moved to Kashi. In Kashi, Tulsidas Ji studied the Vedas for fifteen years while living with Sheshsanatan Ji. His mind was enlightened.
