Yes. AviEka PUraNa Guru story is also found in
it. There are many other interesting stories and episodes.

It was one of the first books that I bought in
Bharathi Book Store in TownHall Road, Madurai. It must
have been 1961 - 62.
It was one of the trunk-loads of books that I
brought to Malaysia with me.
It is not available anymore now.
But I made many xerox copies and have given
them to many Tamil scholars in Malaysia ever since.
Free of cost, of course.
