He was born as the son of a maid-servant of some particularly saintly priests (brahmins). The priests, being pleased with both his and his mother's service, blessed him by allowing him to eat some of their food (prasad) previously offered to their lord, Vishnu.
Gradually X received further blessings from these sages and heard them discussing many spiritual topics. After his mother died, he decided to roam the forest in search of enlightenment in understanding the 'Supreme Absolute Truth'.
Reaching a tranquil forest location, after quenching his thirst from a nearby stream, he sat under a tree in meditation (yoga), concentrating on the paramatma form of Vishnu within his heart as he had been taught by the priests he had served. After some time X experienced a vision wherein Vishnu appeared before him, smiling, and spoke "that despite having the blessing of seeing him at that very moment, X would not be able to see his (Vishnu's) divine form again until he died". Vishnu further explained that the reason he had been given a chance to see his form was because his beauty and love would be a source of inspiration and would fuel his dormant desire to be with the lord again. After instructing X in this manner, Vishnu then disappeared from his sight. The boy awoke from his meditation both thrilled and disappointed.
What X went on to become is a different story. Id X?
No one gets this. Sage Narada it is...
