Keśavānand, at first, rejected him, but later admitted him after Dayārām made a satirical poem criticising him. Dayārām as a boy was mischievous; he and a group of friends would tease women collecting water at the river and throw stones at their pots. Once Dayārām broke a goldsmith's wife's pot which was on her head, and she demanded to be compensated. Dayārām, having no money to pay, fled the village and the goldsmith's wrath, with the local villagers believing he committed suicide in the Narmadā.

When he later died in 1853, he left her one thousand rupees worth of gold jewelry, but the ornaments were stolen by his relatives instead and she spent the last fourteen years of her life in poverty.
